Book Description
Thoughts that come to mind while going through each day. About the Author E. M. July was born in Troy, NY, in 1955, and came to suburban Detroit, MI, in 1959 when her father joined the automotive industry. A baby boomer growing up on the shirttails of the flower children, she moved from her suburban, middle-class childhood into a tumultuous marriage and on to single parenthood and welfare. When she returned to work, in her late thirties, she was living in a motel and traveling by bus, two-and-a-half hours each way, to and from work. It was during this time, in the early-morning and late evening hours that she observed the world and reconnected with her Source. Her creative soul awoke to the art of haiku. e m hopes that this work will inspire all who struggle to seek their creative selves and find hope and strength through their own art. About the Illustrator Marta Prenting Bastian is a potter, who returned to college in 1972 to pursue her passion for art and earn her degree in ceramics. While much of her work is in clay and ceramics, she has also done watercolors, oil, pastels and pencil sketches. She is the mother of four daughters and seven sons, as well as the wife, of fifty-five years, to Bernhard J. Bastian, Sr., a retired automotive engineer, with whom she has coauthored two cookbooks. Mrs. Bastian's ability to combine family life with the pursuit of her own dreams has always been an inspiration and example to her daughter, E. M. July.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
