In most discussions and analyses of American teenage life, one major topic is curiously overlooked - religion. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? This book tells the story of the religious and spiritual lives of contemporary American teenagers.

What distinguishes laws of nature from ordinary facts? What are the "lawmakers": the facts in virtue of which the laws are laws? How can laws be necessary, yet contingent? Lange provocatively argues that laws are distinguished by their necessity, which is grounded in primitive subjunctive facts, while also providing a non-technical and accessible survey of the field.

Explores the impact and cost of America's 'War on Drugs' - both in tax spending and in human terms. This work argues that an end to the war on drugs, much as we ended alcohol prohibition, would yield international benefits, destroy dangerous and illegal drug cartels, and allow the American government to refocus its attention on public well-being.

Christian Smith advances a creative theory of human persons and culture that offers innovative, challenging answers to these and other fundamental questions in sociological, cultural, and religious theory.

A scholarly controversy has raged over whether ordinary Americans are polarized. This book argues that they are because the left and right are increasingly divided by an overarching worldview that guides people's view of right and wrong. This divide is rooted in authoritarianism, causing especially contentious political conflict.

In 1300, women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in England, but by 1600 the industry was largely controlled by men. This work asks how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a woman's trade. In doing so, it sheds light on the effects of early capitalism on the status of women's work.

Philosopher of science Marc Lange aims to develop a new account of the roles that laws of nature play in scientific reasoning (such as counterfactual conditionals, inductive projections, and scientific explanation) and what those roles imply about the very nature of natural laws.
