As someone who is sometimes frustrated by the conservatism that can dominate social marketing thinking, I found this book refreshing. French and Gordon really get to grips with questions regarding embracing with new thinking, and provide some answers. They do this by engaging with the idea that social marketing can work in new ways, and they are not afraid to take on some 'sacred cows' along the way. If you want your assumptions questioned - read this book. -- Alan Tapp
