Store Location and Store Assessment Research Edited by R. L. Davies University of Newcastle, UK and D. S. Rogers D. S. R. Marketing Systems Inc., Illinois, USA An invaluable book to students and practitioners in marketing and retailing. This book looks at store location and store assessment research on both sides of the Atlantic from an academic and a practical retailing point of view, and in doing so attempts to fill a gap in an area which has been hitherto poorly documented. It is also an area in which theory and practice have rarely interrelated. This book endeavours to marry the academic contributions that have been made from a largely theoretical perspective to a series of business experiences that have been conducted in practice. In an age of relative store saturation and an abundance of shopping centres accurate store location research and store location assessment is not only advisable but essential. In recent years a coalescence of needs and a sharing of ideas has transpired between the USA and the UK and has provided a rationale for this collection of Anglo-American essays which give a balanced view of the theory and the practice that make up the subject.

People on the margins--these are the lives that are animated in Lewis Davies's essays. Humanity, dry humor, and warmth shine through this writing to place it at the heart of our social world. These pieces cover territories from the wet grass of Welsh rugby to the dry earth of Andalucia and the orchards of the San Joaquin valley in central California. Risky business, hard graft, the tang of danger, and a chance encounter, this writer spans them all.
