Along the same lines, both men and women tend to prefer cool colors like blue and green, but women demonstrate a much stronger preference for this color family. For instance, both men and women may prefer blue over all other colors, but men have the strongest preference for this hue. Studies have shown that gender tends to have a measurable impact on the psychology of color. However, a number of factors may also influence the way that individuals perceive and react to color, and marketers should be aware of how they may impact the way consumers respond to color. The psychology of color suggests general guidelines for the ways that various hues and shades influence consumer behavior. How Personal Factors Influence the Psychology of Color Not surprisingly, understanding the psychology of color is essential for developing winning marketing campaigns and creating persuasive brands. One such tool at their disposal is color, which can enhance their messages, inspire consumers to take action or help them stand out from their competitors. Instead, they have to support their initiatives with psychological tools to connect with customers, convey brand messages and drive conversions. Experienced marketers know that influential words and enticing images alone will not enable them to achieve their goal. For most marketers, the ultimate goal is to persuade consumers to make a purchase.

This harrowing account of theft, dispossession, novel bureaucratic capacities, and unimaginable violence drew me in in ways that few history books do. They encountered resourceful Native Americans who deployed all means at their disposal to retain their land. In his subtle and exceedingly well documented account, Saunt shows how planters eager for land, southern politicians consolidating their power, and New York bankers launched one of the largest mass deportations in U.S. Sweeping and astute." - Tiya Miles, professor of history, Harvard University, and author of The Dawn of Detroit "Claudio Saunt has written the definitive history of this widely remembered but seldom understood central episode in American history. Saunt has written an unflinching book that reckons with this history and its legacy." - Jennifer Szalai - New York Times "Claudio Saunt sets a bold, new, and urgently needed standard for the way we should understand the history of Indian Removal. The parallels with the present are eerie." - David Treuer - Foreign Affairs "Unworthy Republic is a powerful and lucid account. This is because first, transformations in more than one societal domain and activities of various organizations and individuals are necessary for such improvement. In this USE sequence, students will come to realize that ‘improving quality of life’ is easier said than done. Individual perceptions of new technologies often determines their acceptance, rejection or alteration. Engineers have to take this into account when offering technological solutions for improving human lives. Wellbeing, happines, and health are often seen as personal and private issues, conceptions of which are culturally and individually diverse. Taking the notion QoL as a starting point which connects technology and society, the course sequence is an examination of the invention, dissemination, use, and regulation of technologies transform our societies, identities, and our visions of what constitutes a good life, in forseen and unforseen ways. This interdisciplinary USE sequence investigates notions of happiness, health, and wellbeing with a focus on the promises and peril of technologies designed to improve quality of life (QoL) now and in the future. Impersonating lead member Alpha by using a fake email account is surprisingly easy, and soon Frankie is setting the boys up with all sorts of ridiculous schemes and sending them on wild goose chase after wild goose chase. And to prove this, she's going to teach them a lesson. especially when Frankie knows she's smarter than any of its members. They get along great but then Frankie discovers that Matthew is a member of a boys-only secret society that specialise in 'hilarious' pranks. She's no longer daddy's little girl - and almost immediately after starting the new semester at her highly prestigious school, she bags goofy-but-gorgeous Matthew Livingston as her boyfriend. Fifteen-year-old Frankie Landau-Banks has grown up a lot over the summer. As a result, he was in and out of prison in the 1680s and 1690s, mostly for debt, but he nearly was hanged for his support of Monmouth. However, his luck was poor, his timing was worse, and he also backed to wrong side in the abortive Monmouth rebellion in 1685. Defoe’s plans were to make his fortune as a merchant. He received some formal education, but did not go to university. He fits nicely in a small select group that included John Milton (somewhat older), and Jonathan Swift (a bit younger).ĭaniel Foe (the change to Defoe came later, to class up the act a bit) was born in London around 1660-the details are a bit hazy, which becomes important further on in this story. By and large, however, he made his way with his pen, and as a partisan political writer as well. In an age where few could make a living as a professional writer, Defoe made his living in just that way, although he did dabble in other occupations, including espionage. At one time, Robinson Crusoe was the most translated work after the Bible.īut there is a lot more to Defoe than Crusoe. Until recently, if one thought of Daniel Defoe at all, it was of Robinson Crusoe, alone (well, not quite alone) on some desert island in Defoe’s famous novel. The emotional, physical, and intellectual drama is well crafted and relentless.Tension suspense…are palpable throughout, mitigated by occasional moments of welcome humor. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.Ĭrack dramatic and comic timing… unforgettable… penetrating… The cliffhanger ending is as effective as a shot to the gut. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him - something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. The cliffhanger ending is as effective as a shot to the gut.” - Booklist (starred review) “Narrated with crack dramatic and comic timing. The riveting Chaos Walking trilogy by two-time Carnegie Medalist Patrick Ness, reissued with compelling new covers - and a bonus short story in each book. The people thought that life could not get any tougher, until news spreads like a wild fire, that the bodies of Luke, Karen and young Billy Hadler have been found, all brutally murdered with a shotgun.

The small rural town of Kiewarra, in the state of Victoria, is in the midst of one of the worst droughts it has witnessed in years. To them there was little difference between a carcass and a corpse’ ‘It wasn’t as though the farm hadn’t seen death before, and the blowflies didn’t discriminate. After spotting Maggie in the background of a crummy exploitation flick, Ethan begins pulling at the tangled threads of a seedy operation and unravels a tale of the city's fall from hippie optimism, with movie producers taking advantage of fresh-off-the-bus ingenues, an Aleister Crowley meets Charles Manson cult, and Nazi skinheads ("for some reason, there always had to be skinheads"). Falling hard for Linh Tran, a tough-as-nails library clerk, he agrees to help find her sister Maggie, who vanished into the Hollywood fleshpots years before. It's 1985 and ex-FBI agent and current paladin for hire Ethan Reckless is grinding through private-eye cases, mourning his father, and losing himself by watching old sitcoms at his shuttered movie theater office.
