THE ANATOMY
OF BUZZ

The Anatomy of Buzz (Doubleday, 2000) was one of the first books to predict the rise of interpersonal influence in marketing. The Anatomy of Buzz Revisited (2009) is based on one hundred new interviews with researchers, marketing executives, and consumers. It takes readers inside the world of word-of-mouth marketing and explains how and why it works.

THE ANATOMY OF BUZZ

ABSOLUTE VALUE

ABSOLUTE
VALUE

How people buy things has changed profoundly—yet the fundamental thinking
about consumer decision-making has not. In this provocative book, Stanford
professor Itamar Simonson and bestselling author Emanuel Rosen show why
current mantras about branding and loyalty are losing their relevance. When
consumers base their decisions on reviews from other users, easily accessed
expert opinions, and other emerging technologies, everything changes.

IF ANYONE CALLS, TELL THEM I DIED

This book braids together the stories of three generations, demonstrating the
devastating consequences of Nazi persecution, even for survivors who fled
Europe before WWII. It is also a stark reminder of the heavy psychological toll of uprooting, still experienced by refugees and exiles today.
