Opposition Beyond the Water's Edge
Despite the development of a consensus foreign policy during the early years of the Cold War that supported containment of the Soviet Union, there were both internationalists and pacifists who opposed the efforts of the Truman administration. These groups felt that American actions, including the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the North Atlantic Treaty, and even the Korean War weakened the UN, threatened the Soviet Union with war, hindered European economic recovery, and promoted colonialism.

"It's a tough question, but it's the one we are left with as the crux of the whole book: Would I rather suffer, or deny my God and my faith in him? Job is not a fairy tale, not a fable, nor a morality play set against an ancient Levantine backdrop. Although told with poetry, we take the book of Job to be the true story of what happened to Job, his family, and his friends. This account was given to us by God through the pen of an inspired writer. The men (and the one woman) who speak in this book may not have spoken in poetry, but the words we have, though stylized somewhat by the author, are nevertheless the true message of what took place."- back cover

Psychocinematics
Largely through trial and error, filmmakers have developed engaging techniques that capture our sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Philosophers and film theorists have thought deeply about the nature and impact of these techniques, yet few scientists have delved into empirical analyses of our movie experience-or what Arthur P. Shimamura has coined "psychocinematics." This edited volume introduces this exciting field by bringing together film theorists, philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists to consider the viability of a scientific approach to our movie experience.
