Sommario/riassunto

In this companion volume to Western Warfare, 1775–1882, Jeremy Black takes his analysis of modern warfare into the twentieth century. As before, a distinctive feature of the author's approach is the coverage of both land and naval warfare as well as conflict within the West and between Western and non-Western powers. Beginning with the British conquest of Egypt in 1882, the book goes on to examine the Spanish–American War of 1898, the Boer War and the Balkan conflicts leading to world war in 1914. A revisionist account of the First World War is



followed by a discussion of Western expansionism in the period to 1936. Chapters on the interwar years and the Second World War lead on to a discussion of the retreat from empire and the advent of Cold War. The narrative closes with the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 and a discussion of the limitations of Western military technique, doctrine and technology. Throughout, the themes of military change and modernization are brought into sharp focus and the revolutionary characteristics of the machination of war in this period are questioned. Jeremy Black offers a new and challenging interpretation of modern warfare that will be required reading not only for students of military history but for all those interested in the impact of war in the making of the modern world.

Sommario/riassunto

The careful, creative, and science-driven design of the point of sale has become a crucial success factor for both retailers and service businesses. In the newly revised and expanded edition of this book, the interested reader will find a variety of hands-on suggestions for how to optimize the design of retail stores and service environments to increase customer satisfaction and sales. The focus is on the practical applicability of the concepts discussed, but this accessible book is nevertheless firmly grounded in consumer and psychological research. In this respect, Store Design and Visual Merchandising is uniquely positioned compared with books written by artists, architects, and interior designers, which often lack a solid research foundation, and scholarly articles, which are often inaccessible to the educated yet nonspecialized reader. In writing this book, the authors had drawn on both the recent research literature on shopper marketing and their own extensive experience in marketing consulting and consumer research. Topics covered include the following: goals and relevance of store design; shopper marketing; design tips derived from environmental psychology; cognitive and affective approaches to store design and visual merchandising; use of ambient factors such as music, colors, and scents; and creation of emotional shopping experiences and theming.
