Inhaltsangabe

Why is an artistic masterpiece worth millions more than a convincing forgery? Pleasure works in mysterious ways, as Paul Bloom reveals in this investigation of what we desire and why. Drawing on a wealth of surprising studies, Bloom investigates pleasures noble and seamy, lofty and mundane, to reveal that our enjoyment of a given thing is determined not by what we can see and touch but by our beliefs about that thing's history, origin, and deeper nature.

Anbieterinformationen

We have been trading in books for over 30 years. It all started as a small specialist bookshop in Berlin. Today we specialise in buying and selling used books. Our focus is still on the categories: Specialist books and English-language literature. We also sell books from all other genres, such as fiction, biographies and children's books. Our primary goal is to reuse things and conserve resources. We give books a second life - for us, this is forward-looking, climate-friendly and environmentally friendly.
