«The drastically changing economy, demographics, and technology in the world have made it imperative to probe into the issues related to advertising and societies through a global lens. Katherine Toland Frith and Barbara Muellers Advertising and Societies: Global Issues is the only text of this kind with a distinct global focus on the market. A brainchild of two leading scholars on international advertising, this sorely needed volume is both informative and insightful. With abundant latest examples, data, and findings, this second edition a complete update and a substantial rewrite of the earlier version vividly documents how advertising reflects and shapes societies in the world today. A refreshing and truly valuable contribution to the body of knowledge, this book is a must-read for anyone student, practitioner, and scholar alike who desires a critical understanding of advertising.» (Hong Cheng, Associate Professor, E.
