'Absorbing' - The Guardian'Illuminating' - Vogue'Fascinating' - Pandora Sykes'Juicy' - nb.   In Nostalgia, historian Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution of nostalgia from seventeenth-century Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and policies).   It is a fascinating, compelling story of a social and political emotion, vulnerable to misuse, and one that reflects the anxieties of the age. It is also a clear-eyed analysis of what we are doing now, how we feel about it and what we might want to change about the world we live in.   `Beautifully compact, wide-ranging and enjoyable' - TLS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732550402424,"sku":"9781529091397","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781529091397.jpg?v=1794291234","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781529091397","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
