M: Where have I heard of him? I know nothing about cosmology.
W: He wrote a book about it for the average person. In fact I remember seeing it on your bookshelves.

Successful Advertising
One of the keys to successful advertising is to catch the interest of readers. In your busy life, there is little time to read every page in front of you, so you have to be very selective. Being aware of this, advertisers go to great lengths to arouse your curiosity in what they have to say. You should know when advertisers are trying to catch your interest so that you keep in mind that they are attempting to influence you.
Advertisers always have an intended audience targeted for their
messages — men, women, or children of specific ages, from various ethnic groups, and with certain interests. It is important that you know to whom an advertisement is designed to appeal so that you can decide whether or not you should spend your time giving serious consideration to what it has to say. Obviously the whole point of a given advertisement is to get you to purchase a product, take a certain action, or think
In a certain way. An effective advertisement is very specific about the benefit to readers as a result of their buying, doing, or thinking whatever is being urged by the
Advertisement. It is extremely important that you recognize the benefit stressed by an advertisement so that you can make a sound decision as to whether or not to follow its advice.
