The Catholic Church in State Politics: Negotiating Prophetic Demands and Political Realities
by David YamaneYamane (sociology, Wake Forest U.) maintains that the influence of American Catholic bishops at the state level is one of the Church's best-kept secrets. He proves his point through sociological analysis, interviews and case studies, showing that the bishops have influenced policies on a range of issues such as relieving poverty and providing health care. Yamane traces the roots of the assumption that secular authorities and the Church are somehow isolated from each other and finds instead they are related in significant and sometimes surprising ways, starting with the history of the association from colonial times and examining the role of state Catholic Conferences in advocacy on policy issues, the means of influence exerted by the Church over lawmakers whether they are Catholic or not, and the state issues in which the Church is most likely to get involved.

And Then the Roof Caved In: How Wall Street's Greed and Stupidity Brought Capitalism to Its Knees
by David FaberCNBC's David Faber takes an in-depth look at the causes and consequences of the recent financial collapse. And Then the Roof Caved In lays bare the truth of the credit crisis, whose defining emotion at every turn has been greed, and whose defining failure is the complicity of the U.S. government in letting that greed rule the day. Written by CNBC's David Faber, this book painstakingly details the truth of what really happened with compelling characters who offer their first-hand accounts of what they did and why they did it. Page by page, Faber explains the events of the previous seven years that planted the seeds for the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. He begins in 2001, when the Federal Reserve embarked on an unprecedented effort to help the economy recover from the attacks of 9/11 by sending interest rates to all time lows. Faber also gives you an up-close look at where the crisis was incubated and unleashed upon the world-Wall Street-and introduces you to insiders from investment banks and mortgage lenders to ratings agencies, that unwittingly conspired to insure lending standards were abandoned in the head long rush for profits. Based on two years of research, this book provides deep background into the current credit crisis. Offers the insights of experienced professionals--from Alan Greenspan to prominent bankers and regulators--who were on the front lines. Created by David Faber, the face of morning business news on CNBC, and host of the network's award winning documentaries. From regulators who tried to stop this problem before it swung out of control to hedge fund managers who correctly foresaw the coming housing crash and profited from it, And Then the Roof Caved In shows you how the crisis we currently face came to be.
Leonard Bernstein
by David Ewen"Leonard Bernstein is the only long-hair musician who gets mobbed in the streets by women from Boston to Moscow, from Milan to Tel Aviv.

Pawn of Prophecy (The Belgariad, Book #1)
by David Eddings"Eddings' BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight." Piers Anthony. Long ago, the Storyteller claimed, in this first book of THE BELGARIAD, the evil god Torak drove men and Gods to war. But Belgarath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected men of the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe. But Garion did not believe in such stories. Brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake dread Torak, or that he would be led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loved--but did not know. . .
