J. Shiller, the Arthur M. Okun Professor of Economics

Well known for predicting the

Holding Bishops Accountable: How Lawsuits Helped the
Catholic Church Confront Clergy Sexual Abuse
Timothy
D. Lytton '87, '91JD
Harvard University Press, $35
Albany Law School professor Lytton shows how litigation has helped the victims
of clergy sexual abuse, and led to "institutional reforms that make it less
likely that the Catholic Church"—and other organizations charged with caring
for children—"will ever again facilitate or conceal the crimes of serial
pedophiles.”
House of Wits: An Intimate Portrait of the James Family
Paul Fisher '93PhD
Henry Holt, $35
Novelist Henry, psychologist and philosopher
William, and feminist Alice were three of the most famous members of an
American dynasty that, writes historian Fisher, was "somewhere between the
Alcotts and the Royal Tenenbaums." He tells the family’s remarkable—and
"curiously contemporary"—story.
