Some keep it a secret. And both provide ample opportunities to make foolish choices. Choosing and using objects is a primal human activity, and I Want That! is nothing less than a portrait of humanity as the species that shops. It explores the history of acquisition -- finding, choosing, spending -- from our amber-coveting Neolithic forebears to Renaissance nobles who outfitted themselves for power to twenty-first-century bargain hunters looking for a good buy on eBay. I Want That! explores the minds of shoppers in the quest to nourish and feed fantasies, to define individuality, to provide for family, and to satisfy the needs for celebration, power, and choice -- all of which lead us to malls, boutiques, websites, and superstores. 863061 2002 I Want That!: How We All Became Shoppers total:32|5:2|4:6|3:14|2:10|1:0| 32 96 58 5 2 0 false false Sat Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 17:40:22 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 18:59:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 05:19:55 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 05:59:27 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 19:06:06 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 08:28:32 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sun May 13 21:48:46 -0700 2007 Sun May 13 21:50:03 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 09:56:01 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 09:21:19 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 19:44:40 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 19:44:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 12 20:02:47 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 20:02:54 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Oct 28 18:13:25 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 22:57:39 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 22:57:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 21:33:33 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 21:33:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 14:30:01 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 14:30:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Aug 13 17:59:36 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 17:59:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 08:58:06 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 09:21:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 24 11:09:28 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 11:09:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 11:35:54 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 11:35:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 10 10:58:21 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 10:58:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 08:52:49 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 08:52:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 17:13:37 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 17:13:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 19:41:18 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 19:41:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 16 13:31:04 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 13:31:04 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Feb 26 17:01:35 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 17:01:44 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=877733
