About this product
Product Information
Young and Holley's latest bibliography covers 20th-century American religious history. When combined with their previous work covering the period 1620 through 1900, this volume completes the first comprehensive listing of doctoral dissertations on American religious history. The two volumes include all historically-oriented titles related to theology, religious institutions, liturgy, church music and art, individual religious leaders, church-state relations, and religious influences on science and literature, and include full bibliographic information down to UMI order numbers. This second volume features a specially augmented subject index. From Puritan theocracy to televangelism, religion has touched nearly every facet of American life. The influence of religion on the nation has been chronicled since the 17th century. To facilitate advanced scholarly inquiry, the large body of graduate-level research is assembled in these two bibliographic volumes of historically-oriented doctoral dissertations. In this contemporary volume, 72 denominations and movements are alphabetically listed, and 4,215 dissertations cited. A special feature of this work is a very detailed subject index with approximately 26,000 access points, allowing the reader to retrieve more relevant citations than a search restricted to an electronic database. This compilation, together with the earlier volume, makes nearly 8,500 dissertation titles conveniently available to the scholarly community.

"In the tradition of A Civil Action and In Cold Blood , this important and timely book reads like a riveting murder mystery . . . Alicia Mundy''s book shines an overdue and informing spotlight on the immense, and not always well-used, power of national pharmaceutical corporations . . . over FDA regulators, over elected officials, and over the consuming public. Readers will leave Dispensing with the Truth'' s final pages armed with new insights-and heightened concerns-regarding the safety of the pharmaceuticals they consume. This is a significant and utterly engaging work of legal journalism at its best. It is also reminds us that lawyers can sometimes be heroes. And it makes me personally proud that some of the heroes in these pages are former students of mine."-Alan M. Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School "[A] sad, infuriating and important tale . . . [Mundy''s] mastery of the massive scandal''s legal, political and regulatory issues is impressive, her documentation comprehensive. [S]he has produced an exemplary piece of reportage on an appalling and utterly needless catastrophe."- The Washington Post "A great investigative reporter tells the story of how corporate greed and government incompetence combined to let a killer loose-and what happened when the truth closed in."-Sam Donaldson, Chief White House Correspondent for ABC News and co-anchor of This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts "Absorbing . . . a read that will have you gritting your teeth."- Time "The subject of this fascinating book is the first wrongful death suit brought against a diet drug, Fen-Phen, an event that Mundy sets in the context of drug companies'' greed, publicity spinning, and power over the Food and Drug Administration. Mundy comprehensively and often grippingly details the plaintiffs'' attorneys'' search for facts, which ultimately accumulated millions of documents; their many depositions; their work on determining trial procedures; their practicing before mock courts that included ''jurors'' selected to give feedback; and then the trial itself. "-William Beatty, Booklist "[Mundy] admirably recounts the fen-phen fiasco of the late 1990s . . . [She] has crafted a compelling morality tale out of this huge medical and regulatory disaster."- Elle "Dispensing with the Truth has Hollywood movie written all over it . . . Think Erin Brockovich or A Civil Action -a courtroom drama pitting presumably powerless human beings against greedy corporations."-Salon.com "[A] medical thriller that profiles unsuspecting victims while indicting the Food and Drug Administration and pharmaceutical giant Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories."- New York Daily News "As Capitol Hill thrashes out the limits of a patient''s right to sue health care providers, all involved should make Mundy''s [book] a frequently consulted reference . . . [The book] chronicles, with passion and precision, the sequence of events that led to the Fen-Phen weight-loss drug disaster that left thousands of women dead or crippled by heart disease."- The National Journal "Mundy''s scorched-earth reporting and high-energy writing build a story that leave A Civil Action in the dust."-Ellen Goodman, The Boston Globe "Mundy''s book reads like a medical thriller . . . A readable and moving narrative."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Investigative reporting at its best . . . will keep readers on the edge of their seats."- Arizona Daily Star "This true-to-life courtroom drama reads like an edge-of-the-seat novel. It tops A Civil Action ."-Barry Reed, bestselling author of The Verdict and The Deception " Dispensing with the Truth has a huge, gratifying asset: it is so readable a story, told with such zest and saucy verve, that once you start reading, you''ll be hard-pressed to stop. Remember, I warned you!"-Jack Valenti, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association, "In the tradition ofA Civil ActionandIn Cold Blood, this important and timely book reads like a riveting murder mystery . . .

[[BOOK WAS THOUGHTFULLY PACKAGED - a definite plus for book lovers and collectors]] . Was delighted to see my book wedged between 2 stiff card-boards and shrink wrapped! This protected my book from rough handling during shipping that can create unsightly dents at the spine and the edges. Clearly, the seller took thoughtful and diligent steps to ensure that the parcel can withstand the ravages of shipping and can keep the book in pristine condition! i am grateful to the person who packed my order
