Adamczyk, Amy; Valdimarsdóttirb, Margrét, Understanding Americans' abortion attitudes: The role of the local religious context, 71 2018 , pp. 129-144

Although abortion became legal in the USA over 40 years ago, the population remains bitterly divided over its acceptability. Personal religious beliefs and life style have emerged as pivotal in shaping disapproval. However, very little attention has been given to how the local religious context may shape views and abortion access. Using data from the General Social Survey (6922) that has geographical identifiers, the authors examine how the local religious context influences social attitudes. They also examine the different impact of a higher rate of Catholicism or of Conservative Protestantism within the country, both on the attitudes of other residents and on acceptance of abortion clinics.

, Understanding the imaginary war. Culture, thought and nuclear conflict, 1945–90, ed. Grant, Matthew; Ziemann, Benjamin, Manchester, Manchester University Press, 2017 , pp. 316

The authors reinterpret the Cold War as an ‘imaginary war’, a conflict that had visions of nuclear devastation as one of its main battlegrounds, and provide and cultural representations of nuclear war. There are chapters and case studies on Western Europe, the USSR, Japan and the USA.

The aim is to make nuclear culture relevant to an understanding of the period from 1945 to 1990.
