  Social Communication in Advertising is the first genuinely comprehensive study of advertising in our society and culture. It shows how advertising encompasses the three most influential domains of our lives; industrial technology, popular culture and mass media. The authors present a well-balanced account of the attacks on advertising and the counter-arguments for it, and they explore the context in which advertising is created within ad agencies. Their book offers a wide-ranging theory about how advertising connects goods and symbols in the consumer society, and a number of important reflections on the implications of advertising for social issues and social policy.
