      abstract = {"Bono. Angelina Jolie. Ben Affleck. George Clooney. All of  these celebrities, and many others in this century and the  last, have endorsed politicians and policies. In Celebrity  Power, Mark Harvey takes a close look at the question of  what roles celebrities play in politics, focusing primarily  on issue-based advocacy to determine if they make a  difference and, if so, why. He concludes that celebrities  do, in fact, often influence public opinion and that their  power is based on their ability to draw attention to  specific issues and to persuade people to agree with them  or, at the least, to think about issues." --},
