Blind Oracles
In BLIND ORACLES, Bruce Kuklick examines how American presidents, at least since Roosevelt, have used scholars as learned councils to advise on policy. In his case studies, Kuklick tells who these scholars were (George Kennan, Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger) and where they were from (Harvard, the Ford Foundation, the Rand Corporation) as he reviews major events such as the Cuban missile crisis and the war in
Vietnam. A major question is whether the advice of these specialists was given blindly without bias, or whether it was politicized, shaped to align with presidential objectives. In telling his story, Kuklick provides fascinating portraits of learned men whose powerful personalities and egos match their brainpower as he opens up revealing chapters of Cold War history.

Faith and Health
This volume reviews and integrates the growing body of contemporary psychological research on the links between religious faith and health outcomes. It presents up-to-date findings from empirical studies of populations ranging from healthy individuals to those with specific clinical problems, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and psychological disorders. Drawing on multiple perspectives in psychology, the book examines such critical questions as the impact of religious practices on health behaviors and health risks; the role played by faith in adaptation to illness or disability; and possible influences on physiological functioning and mortality. Chapters reflect the close collaboration of the editors and contributing authors, who discuss commonalities and differences in their work, debate key methodological concerns, and outline a cohesive agenda for future research.

The Business of Children's Entertainment by Norma Odom Pecora, ISBN 1572302801
For the past 20 years, toy manufacturers have subsidized the development of children's television programming. The result has been the increased commercialization of children's popular culture; the creation of a "material world" of childhood characterized by brand-name toys, games, clothing, and television characters. Drawing upon historical and economic data and case studies of the media marketplace, this book examines how children have been developed into both an audience and a consumer group.
