If you have an interest in mannequins as a cultural artifact, artistic endeavor, fetish item, as advertising or large `doll' collectables, you will find a dearth of information on their history, manufacture and sources! Most of the high-end manufacturers like Patina-V, Hindsgaul, and Rootstein keep beautiful graphic laden websites, which updated only infrequently, share no information at all on the vintage and unusual models sought by the collector.

Most websites for window display professionals can give you some information, but they do not help in the quest to identify that lovely mannequin you snagged on eBay, or tell you who made which mannequin of a young Rene Russo, Ali McGraw or that 1995 Tyra Banks you saw recently!

Nicole Parrot cannot tell you everything you will ever need to know, but she give you a imaginative voyage in the unusual history of mannequins and their makers. Illustrated with rarely seen antique and newer vintage photographs of window displays and storerooms, she shares stories of the lives of creators and models and the intertwining of both!

Think on the maker who loved one of his personal plaster creations so dearly she accompanied him everywhere he went daily, until accidentally destroyed while traveling with him on public transit. Wax mannequin makers who endowed their creamy skin and glass eyed beauties with anatomically correct and lovingly formed genitals that were never seen under the garments of the public display windows.

Essential on the shelf of those interested in mannequins, it can lead you into the obsessive world of mannequin lovers and the search for the elusive and so rare retail catalogs, the quest for true origin of the lady you saw on a website or another collector to just TALK to over coffee!

Think of these non-living but visually vital lovely men, women and children that have shown us and (continue to tempt us to join them) in translated visions of perfected selves in a fantasy world of fashion, fetish, art, commerce and sex... if you don't buy it, search it out in your library and enjoy the voyage!

In a world of recurring change, Morris's "Market Power and Business Strategy" comes as an intellectual breakthrough that proposes unconventional ways of dealing with the new realities. By contrasting Eastern and Western philosophies, the author offers to both the West and developping countries an opportunity to rejuvinate thought and action in practically all walks of life. A "must read book" for everyone interested in change, economic development, and the 21st. century. Mohamed Achahboun MS. Horticulture, MBA, PhD. Student (Political thought)

Great reference for building market models. A lot of good examples. Real world case studies. Easy to understand math formulas. Technical - but good!

This is an excellent book for getting a grip on quantitative market segmentation methods. It is a bit murky in places, but definately is one of the more advanced books on the subject.

I recommend it, but with reservation for those who are not up to speed in statistical analysis.

no marketing plan, promotional plan should be developed prior to referencing this book. Well, it could be done, but at alot of extra work.

This book was the guide for one of the courses of the Master of Estrategic Marketing Managament. I recomended this book.

I recently purchased this book and have found it to be extremely helpful in understanding the intersection of marketing and the Internet. I am a computer engineer trying to better comprehend the world of business. This book provides both theoretical and practical insights that have been extremely useful. The book is very well written in a style that is accessible to an outsider, yet covers the topics in significant depth.
