"Pass Christian, Mississippi, 1980: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips up the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from a Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot's flight bag, the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit--by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, an inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul."--Dust jacket flap.

Dieses nach Sichtung Tausender von Werbeanzeigen sorgfältig zusammengestellte Buch präsentiert die Krönung der amerikanischen Printwerbung im Zeitalter der "Big Idea". Die bunten und originellen Kampagnen malen ein faszinierendes Bild der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre und dokumentieren, wie die Angst vor dem Kalten Krieg immer mehr dem sorgenfreien Kapitalismus der Mad-Men-Ära wich, in der hemmungslos gequalmt und gesoffen wurde. Die Bilder, die digital überarbeitet wurden, um eine optimale Reproduktionsqualität zu erzielen, sind von einer bestechenden Schärfe und Farbintensität. Sie brachten einst ihr Zielpublikum mit der Verlockung ungeahnter Möglichkeiten dazu, alles nur Erdenkliche zu kaufen - von Hüfthaltern bis Handfeuerwaffen, Autos bis Zahnpasta, Flugreisen bis Küchengeräten. Dieses mal schockierende, mal amüsante und inspirierende Panorama eines vergangenen Marketing-Milieus ist zugleich Zeitdokument und Referenzwerk für innovatives Design und witzige Werbung.
