\nI asked John Berenyi of Bergent Research (www.bergent.com.au) why\nusability people are sometimes disparaging of market researchers. John\nhas some interesting thoughts about about good - and bad - market\nresearch.
\n
\nThe book John mentions is Vance Packard's "The Hidden Persuaders".\n(www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671531492/informdesign). John is\ncorrect in his statement that Vance Packard died (in 1996).
\n
\nThere's a reference to Paco Underhill in the podcast. His book "Why We\nBuy: The Science of Shopping"\n(www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684849143/informdesign) is an\ninteresting read.
