Lifestyles & Trends - US Consumers

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In Lifestyles & Trends: US Consumers, we explore the profound transformation of the American consumer, driven by the rise of the affluent consumer, the changing face of retail, and the pursuit of health and wellness.

The affluent consumer is a new breed of shopper who is driving growth in the luxury goods market. These consumers are looking for unique and exclusive experiences, and they are willing to pay a premium for them. The rise of the affluent consumer is being fueled by a number of factors, including the growing wealth of the middle class, the increasing popularity of online shopping, and the globalization of the economy.

The changing face of retail is another major trend that is reshaping consumer culture. The decline of traditional brick-and-mortar stores and the rise of e-commerce are forcing retailers to adapt to new ways of doing business. Retailers are increasingly using technology to improve the customer experience, and they are also experimenting with new store formats, such as pop-up shops and experiential retail.

The pursuit of health and wellness is another major trend that is impacting consumer culture. Consumers are increasingly interested in healthy food and beverages, fitness and activewear, and mindfulness and meditation. This trend is being driven by a number of factors, including the rising cost of healthcare, the growing awareness of the importance of preventive care, and the increasing popularity of social media, which has made it easier for people to share their health and wellness goals with others.

In this book, we will also examine the changing role of technology, government, and environmentalism in shaping consumer behavior. We will explore how these trends are impacting businesses and consumers alike, and we will discuss the future of consumer culture.

Lifestyles & Trends: US Consumers is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the changing landscape of consumer behavior. This book is packed with insights and analysis that will help businesses and consumers alike stay ahead of the curve.

Fantasies of Nina Simone

Jordan Alexander Stein

Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.

How to Have Willpower - An...

Plutarch, Prudentius

How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation. 
 
 
 
In the spirit of the best ancient self-help writing, Plutarch, a pagan Greek philosopher and historian, offers a set of practical recommendations and steps we can take to resist pressure and to stop saying "yes" against our better judgment. And in a delightfully different work, Prudentius, a Latin Christian poet, dramatizes the necessity to actively fight temptation through the story of an epic battle within the human soul between fierce warrior women representing our virtues and vices. 
 
 
 
Plutarch and Prudentius insist that we allow pressure or temptations to get the best of us. But they also agree that we can do something about it. And their wisdom can help.

Lakhmids The: The History of the...

Editors Charles River

During the first half of the 1st millennium CE, an empire arose in Persia that extended its power and influence to Mesopotamia in the east, Arabia in the south, the Caucasus Mountains in the north, and as far east as India. This empire, known alternatively as the Sasanian Empire or Sassanid Empire, was the last of three great dynasties in Persia—the Achaemenid and the Parthian being the first two dynasties—before the rise of Islam. In fact, many scholars consider the Sasanian Empire to be the last great empire of the ancient Near East because once it had been obliterated, Islam became the standard religion of the region, ushering in the Middle Ages.  
	The Sasanian Empire was important for a number of reasons. Besides being the last of three great Persian dynasties, they carried on many Persian cultural traditions relating to religion and kingship. The Sasanians fostered and promoted the native religion of Zoroastrianism to the point of persecuting other religions from time to time. It was during the Sasanian period that the numerous Zoroastrian hymns, prayers, and rituals were collected under one book, known as the Avesta.  
	However, as the Eastern Roman Empire and Sasanian Empire began to expand in the region through a combination of warfare, trade, and diplomacy, a number of Arab tribes caught in the middle coalesced to form their own powerful dynasties and states, one of which was the Lakhmid Dynasty. The Lakhmid Dynasty formed in the Mesopotamian city of al-Hira in the late 3rd century or 4th century from an Arab tribe that was searching for a home, yet within 100 years, the Lakhmids had carved out a sizable state in southern Arabia that included parts of the modern nation-states of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The Lakhmids were able to build this dynasty through a combination of brute force and skillful diplomacy, walking a political tightrope.
