The Routledge Companion to the History of Advertising
With expansive global coverage from an international range of experts, this unique volume critically examines the stakeholders and influences on the production, dissemination, and consumption of advertising – from its early history via the development of mass advertising to the emergence of the digital age. Advertising has been and remains one of the most visible and influential forms of communication globally and the advertising industry is valued in the hundreds of billions worldwide. While its size, reach, and influence have attracted considerable scholarly attention, the insights from its historical growth and development are less well understood yet provide invaluable insights. This authoritative reference volume provides not only a critical overview of the state of current knowledge and research in advertising history, but also a global overview of the industry’s growth and development. This Companion is a comprehensive source of current scholarship and debate on the history of advertising for advanced students, educators, and researchers in advertising, marketing, communication, and media studies, and will provide an invaluable one-stop literature resource for academics and informed professionals alike.

The Routledge Companion to the History of Retailing
Retail history is a rich, cross-disciplinary field that demonstrates the centrality of retailing to many aspects of human experience, from the provisioning of everyday goods to the shaping of urban environments; from earning a living to the construction of identity. Over the last few decades, interest in the history of retail has increased greatly, spanning centuries, extending to all areas of the globe, and drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives. By offering an up-to-date, comprehensive thematic, spatial and chronological coverage of the history of retailing, this Companion goes beyond traditional narratives that are too simplistic and Euro-centric and offers a vibrant survey of this field. It is divided into four broad sections: 1) Contexts, 2) Spaces and places, 3) People, processes and practices and 4) Geographical variations. Chapters are written in an analytical and synthetic manner, accessible to the general reader as well as challenging for specialists, and with an international perspective. This volume is an important resource to a wide range of readers, including marketing and management specialists, historians, geographers, economists, sociologists and urban planners.
