Download or read book Get Smashed written by Sam Delaney and published by Sceptre. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were young. They were making it up as they went along. They introduced the world to Smash Martians, Honeymonsters and a beer that refreshes the parts that others cannot reach. And pretty soon, they were millionaires. As one survivor put it: 'No one in the real world knew who the f*** we were. But we'd sit in the first-class departure lounge with rock stars and Hollywood actresses and we convinced ourselves we were celebrities. It probably wasn't a very healthy state of mind.' Some, including Ridley Scott, Alan Parker, David Puttnam and, of course, Charles Saatchi, became famous. Others OD'ed on sex, drugs and 30 second commercials. This was advertising as it had never been before. And has never been since. GET SMASHED is a story of ambition, obsession and excess and how the ads that began by reflecting British culture came to define it.

Download or read book Smashed written by Koren Zailckas and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-01-31 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garnering a vast amount of attention from young people and parents, and from book buyers across the country, Smashed became a media sensation and a New York Times bestseller. Eye-opening and utterly gripping, Koren Zailckas’s story is that of thousands of girls like her who are not alcoholics—yet—but who routinely use booze as a shortcut to courage and a stand-in for good judgment. With one stiff sip of Southern Comfort at the age of fourteen, Zailckas is initiated into the world of drinking. From then on, she will drink faithfully, fanatically. In high school, her experimentation will lead to a stomach pumping. In college, her excess will give way to a pattern of self-poisoning that will grow more destructive each year. At age twenty-two, Zailckas will wake up in an unfamiliar apartment in New York City, elbow her friend who is passed out next to her, and ask, "Where are we?" Smashed is a sober look at how she got there and, after years of blackouts and smashups, what it took for her to realize she had to stop drinking. Smashed is an astonishing literary debut destined to become a classic.

Download or read book The Persuasion Industries written by Steven McKevitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the twentieth century, Britain was a consumer society. Commerce, intoxicating and addictive, had almost entirely colonized modern life. People were immersed in, and ultimately defined by, promotional culture. The things they consumed had overtaken class, religion, geography, or occupation as the primary form of self-identity and self-expression. For much of the twentieth century all forms of brand communication- from political campaigning to product advertising- were based on the theory of rational appeals to rational consumers. There was only one problem with this theory: it was wrong. The Persuasion Industries: The Making of Modern Britain examines develops in marketing, advertising, public relations, and branding. It explores the role they played in the emergence of the consumer society. New ideas from fields of behavioural psychology and economics, together with internal developments such as planning, positioning, and corporate branding allowed persuasion to become the driving force within many commercial enterprises. Together these changes led to the emergence of an alternative emotional model of brand communication. A simple idea that proved so compelling it changed the world we live in.

Download or read book The Critical Merits of Young Adult Literature written by Crag Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the literary effectiveness of young adult literature from a critical, research-oriented perspective answers two key questions asked by many teachers and scholars in the field: Does young adult literature stand up on its own as literature? Is it worthy of close study? The treatment is both conceptual and pragmatic. Each chapter discusses a topical text set of YA novels in a conceptual framework—how these novels contribute to or deconstruct conventional wisdom about key topics from identity formation to awareness of world issues, while also providing a springboard in secondary and college classrooms for critical discussion of these novels. Uncloaking many of the issues that have been essentially invisible in discussions of YA literature, these essays can then guide the design of curriculum through which adolescent readers hone the necessary skills to unpack the ideologies embedded in YA narratives. The annotated bibliography provides supplementary articles and books germane to all the issues discussed. Closing "End Points" highlight and reinforce cross-cutting themes throughout the book and tie the essays together.

Book excerpt: Extraordinary jewellery heists in upper-class stores across Melbourne have been baffling the Melbourne police force. Each store targeted was fitted with the most sophisticated security system available, and yet, not a single alarm was activated in each attack. The only clue as to the perpetrator is a small token left behind at each location. The tokens are all identical, found on the forehead of a brutally murdered guard and inscribed with two words: “The Banca”. When a jewellery store in Sydney is targeted next, Detective Billie McCoy’s interest is piqued, but her mind is focused on more pressing personal matters closer to home. Jill Kuzac, cousin to Billie’s best friend, was lucky enough to receive community work instead of a jail term, only due to Billie’s support in the courtroom. Jill has barely finished her first month of service and is already lacking interest, particularly after meeting Harmony Conner. Billie’s instincts make it hard to trust the newcomer, but before she can investigate further, her life is suddenly turned upside down. Incriminating evidence emerges that places Billie as the number one suspect in the latest jewellery heist. To make matters worse, the evidence links her to the murder of a former police officer at the scene. Billie has no choice but to go on the run. With the full force hunting her down, she will need all her skill to prove her innocence. If she’s not careful who she trusts, she might just find she’s the next person found with a token on her forehead…
