  • One Perfect Day : The Selling Of The American Wedding

  • Attribution

    Rebecca Mead

  • Publication Details

    Book, Penguin Press, 2007

  • Description

    The 160-billion dollar behemoth that is the American wedding industry and the psychology behind the expense, stress, and folly associated with the typical American wedding Using the American wedding as a rosetta stone, in One Perfect Day writer Rebecca Mead poses a series of questions that cut to the heart of our national identity. Taking us inside the workings of the wedding industry-from the swelling ranks of professional wedding planners to department stores with their online wedding registries to the retailers and manufacturers of wedding gowns to the Walt Disney Company and its Fairytale Weddings program-Rebecca Mead skillfully holds the mirror up to the bride’s deepest hopes and fears about her wedding day and dissects the myriad goods and services that will be required for her role within it. * A seminar for wedding dress retailers in Las Vegas: Chip Eichelberger, a motivational speaker, offers advice on the pacing of a sale-”If you get them excited about the three-hundred-dollar dress it’s hard to get them excited about the three-thousand-dollar dress”-and how to act upon “the ‘Oh, Mommy,’ moment,” when a bride falls in love with a gown (page 78-79) * Hebron Church, also known as “The Chapel on the Hill”: A struggling rural Wisconsin church is forced by economic pressures to moonlight as a commercial wedding chapel (page 145), while the ranks of freelance wedding ministers-some with credentials acquired online-who will perform crowd-pleasing “spiritual” ceremonies replete with rituals invented for the camera begin to swell (page 130).

  • Attribution

    Marcia Angell

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2004

  • Description

    As Dr. Angell powerfully demonstrates, claims that high drug prices are necessary to fund research and development are unfounded: The truth is that drug companies funnel the bulk of their resources into the marketing of products of dubious benefit. Zeroing in on hugely successful drugs like AZT (the first drug to treat HIV/AIDS), Taxol (the best-selling cancer drug in history), and the blockbuster allergy drug Claritin, Dr. Angell demonstrates exactly how new products are brought to market.
