|  | Thought Contagion by Aaron Lynch
Memetics expert Aaron Lynch works out the conceptual basis for a new science of thought contagion, and argues that ideas and beliefs act like viruses when they spread--the evolution of an idea or belief in society being akin to the evolution of living organisms--and that the survival and strength of any particular idea depends on the effectiveness of its programming for its own retransmission.

 | Design for Victory by Harry R. Rubenstein, William L. Bird
The poster - inexpensive, colorful, and immediate - was an ideal medium for delivering messages about Americans' duties on the home front during World War II. Design for Victory presents more than 150 of these stunning images - many never reproduced since their first issue - culled from the collections of the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. William L. Bird, Jr. and Harry R. Rubenstein delve beneath the surface of these colorful graphics, telling the stories behind their production and revealing how posters fulfilled the goals and needs of their creators. The authors describe the history of how specific posters were conceived and received, focusing on the workings of the wartime advertising profession and demonstrating how posters often reflected uneasy relations between labor and management.
