|  | Forces of Habit by David T. Courtwright
In this exploration of drugs' influence on Western culture, a historian argues that governmental and religious institutions have both promoted and condemned the use of mind-altering chemicals like caffeine, cocaine, and marijuana. His numerous examples include 18th-century American colonists' attempts to bribe Native Americans to attend church, and Russian politicians' plans to reduce alcohol consumption. AUTHOR: David T.

 | On Beauty by Elaine Scarry
Taking up the case for the much-maligned--or, worse, ignored--subject of beauty, Scarry argues not only for its inherent value, and the value of paying attention to it, but suggests that cultivating an understanding or an appreciation of beauty can lead to a desire for truth and a more persistent belief in a just society.
