On Nostalgia - (Exploded Views) by David Berry (Paperback)

On Nostalgia is a thought-provoking work of philosophy that explores the cultural history of nostalgia in modern times.

Drawing on everything from psychology to advertising, this book examines how the relentless search for self and the overwhelming presence of mass media stokes the fires of nostalgia.

With a panoramic approach, On Nostalgia delves into what it means to remember, how universal yearning is used by us and against us, and considers a future where the past is more readily available than ever before.

This book is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the peculiarly virulent epidemic of nostalgia in our current times.
