Barrie Gunter is Emeritus Professor in Media and Communication at the University of Leicester
'The digital world has facilitated children's brand awareness (for better or worse) and armed brand promoters with increasingly subtle ways of reaching children. Consequently, Gunter's discussion is about early childhood development as well as business...Gunter's provocative text provides a well-researched, clearly presented introduction to the emergence and development of children's brand consciousness and various related issues in clear and explicit language. It is a must read for anybody interested in the confluence of human development and technology.' S. A. Schulman, CUNY Baruch College, Choice July 2016 -- .
