To identify the problems with the given reference and rewrite it correctly, let's analyze the original reference:
Original Reference:
Walter John Gowan; Advertising in American Society (4th ed.), New York, New York: Mr. Robert Jones and his sons, 2001.
Problems:
1. Lack of Proper Author Format: The author's name, Walter John Gowan, should be written as Last Name, First Name Initial.
2. Missing Punctuation: There should be a comma after the author's name and after the title.
3. Inconsistency in Capitalization: The title "Advertising in American Society" should have all major words capitalized.
4. Incorrect Edition Format: The edition should be abbreviated, such as "4th ed."
5. Missing Publisher Information: The publisher's information is incomplete; it should include the city and state of publication.
6. Inclusion of "Mr. Robert Jones and his sons": This seems to be a misplaced attribution, and it doesn't belong within the reference.
7. Incorrect Date Format: The year should be placed in parentheses instead of immediately after the publisher's information.
Rewritten Reference:
Gowan, Walter J. Advertising in American Society (4th ed.). New York, NY: Publisher Name, 2001.
To ensure the accuracy of the rewritten reference, please replace "Publisher Name" with the actual name of the publisher.
