Women and the White House
As the first female vice president takes office, this volume explores gender perceptions and the executive role: “An important, impressive book” (Lane Crothers, author of Globalization and American Popular Culture).

Drawing on a survey of over 1000 students from 26 institutions as well as follow-up interviews, Jason King argues that religious culture on Catholic campuses can, in fact, have an impact on the school's hookup culture--but it is not a straightforward one. In Faith with Benefits, King shows how different kinds of Catholic colleges deal with hookup culture differently.

In the wake of the Enron and World Com debacle, campaign finance reform has once again ascended to the top of the congressional agenda.
