Title: Shopping
Description: This book enables readers to realize the significance of their shopping memories and milestones. From a cultural perspective, Jenny Shaw explores how shopping is viewed, the history behind its 'fall from grace', its part in the common culture, its role in helping us craft new identities, hold on to old ones, adjust to change, and generally 'hold us together' both as individuals and communities.--[book cover]
