Nota de disertación: The advice given to Cicero by his astute, campaign-conscious brother to prepare him for the consular elections of 64 B.C.,has a curiously modern ring: "Avoid taking a definite stand on great public issues either in the Senate or before the people. Bend your energies towards making friends of key-men in all classes of voters".

Nota de disertación: At the time of its occurrence, the Spanish Civil War epitomized for the Western world the confrontation of democracy, fascism, and communism. An entire generation of Englishmen and Americans felt a deeper emotional involvement in that war than in any other world event of their lifetimes, including the Second World War. On the Continent, its "lessons," as interpreted by participants of many nationalities, have played an important role in the politics of both Western Europe and the People's Democracies. Everywhere in the Western world, readers of history have noted parallels between the Spanish Republic of 1931 and the revolutionary governments which existed in France and Central Europe during the year 1848. The Austrian revolt of October 1934, reminded participants and observers alike of the Paris Commune of 1871, and even the most politically unsophisticated observers could see in the Spain of 1936 all the ideological and class conflicts which had characterized revolutionary France of 1789 and revolutionary Russia of 1917.

Nota de disertación: We believe that a good marketing textbook must do several things in order to provide this critical understanding: it should incorporate both traditional and contemporary aspects of marketing, including the careful consideration of environmental factors, address the roles of marketing and marketing managers; and show the relevance of marketing for those who interact with or who are affected by marketing activities (such as consumers). We also believe that presentation is important: a textbook must describe marketing concepts to readers in an interesting, compressive, and balanced manner. As we indicate at the beginning of chapter 1, marketing is truly "an exciting, fast-paced, and contemporary business discipline".
