'McQuarrie (Santa Clara Univ.) explores online consumer behavior from the perspective of a sociologist. His book is a theoretical, philosophical, and at times whimsical collection of essays. McQuarrie's work includes approaches to marketing research as well as marketing rhetoric and semiotics. He offers this multifaceted, thoroughly academic look at a phenomenon of still-growing importance that has had little investigation from a sociological perspective. Summing Up: Recommended.' -- D. Aron, Choice 'Ed McQuarrie has been a leading light among sociological consumer researchers for a long time, his research devoted to deep and interdisciplinary exploration. This book is a much-needed development of the vast new terrain of consumers' online behaviors. From megaphone effects to soapbox imperatives, from Bourdieu to Goffman, cultural capital to trust, McQuarrie builds on his prior work to provide exciting new thinking to help us understand the radical and important changes that the Internet continues to spur. Highly recommended!' -- Robert Kozinets, York University, Canada
