The Ambiguity of Being: Lonergan and the Problems of the Supernatural
Jonathan R. Heaps
The debate in Catholic theology over the relationship between the natural and the supernatural has only occasionally engaged with Bernard Lonergan’s philosophical and theological contributions on the topic. The Ambiguity of Being argues that more detailed engagement with Lonergan’s work implies an oversight in both the 20th- and 21st-century debates.

Perceptions of State: The US State Department and International Law

Keeping Women in their Digital Place: The Maintenance of Jewish Gender Norms Online
Ruth Tsuria
Since its inception, the internet has been theorized as a democratic force, a public sphere in which hierarchies are flattened. But the internet is not a neutral tool; it has the power to amplify and mirror certain opinions and, as a result, can concretize social norms. So what happens when matters of religious practice and gender identity collide in these―often unregulated―online spaces?

The Aristotelian Mirabilia and Early Peripatetic Natural Science
Arnaud Zucker, Robert Mayhew, and Oliver Hellmann
This is the first volume devoted to the sections of the Aristotelian Mirabilia on natural science, filling a significant gap in the history of the Aristotelian study of nature and especially of animals.
The chapters in this volume explore the Mirabilia, or De mirabilibus auscultationibus (On Marvelous Things Heard), and its engagement with the natural sciences. The first two chapters deliver an introduction to this work: one a discussion of the history of the text and the other a discussion of Aristotelian epistemology and methodology, and the role of the Mirabilia in that context. This is followed by eight chapters that, together, are effectively a commentary on those sections of the Mirabilia with close connections to Aristotle’s Historia animalium and to a number of Theophrastus’ scientific treatises. Finally, the volume ends with two chapters on thematic topics connected to natural science running throughout the work, namely color and disease.
The Aristotelian Mirabilia and Early Peripatetic Natural Science should prove invaluable to scholars and students interested in the ancient Greek study of nature, ancient philosophy, and Aristotelian science in particular.

Unwired
Gaia Bernstein
Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help-measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.

Conflict and Peace in Western Sahara: The Role of the UN's Peacekeeping Mission (MINURSO)
János Besenyő, R. Joseph Huddleston, and Yahia H. Zoubir
This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of MINURSO (the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara), focused on its activities, composition, purpose and operational future in Western Sahara, the world's last colony. The book's focus is broad, examining MINURSO from key historical, legal, military and political angles whilst assessing the future of UN peacekeeping missions in the Western Sahara. Supported by a diverse, international mix of perspectives and professions - including academics, lawyers, soldiers and humanitarian aid workers - an in-depth view of MINURSO is provided, rooted in practical Western Saharan field experience. The authors reveal the complexities of the region and of the mission locally, but also analyse MINURSO through a global lens, focusing on relations with the United States, China, Russia, France and African states. This approach emphasises the importance of the region as a site of international struggle while remaining conscious of local contexts. A landmark contribution to peacekeeping studies, the book is vital reading for practitioners and academics focused on the Western Saharan conflict and the MENA region, but will also be of interest to those engaged in international relations, international law and security studies.

Lost Bread: A Novel
Edith Bruck, Gabriella Romani, and David Yanoff
In 1944, twelve-year-old Ditke, her parents, and her siblings are forced out of their home by the Nazis and sent to a series of concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Dachau. Miraculously surviving the war with one of her sisters, but losing her parents and a brother, Ditke begins a tortuous journey—first back to Hungary, where she knows she doesn’t belong, and then to Israel. There, she holds various jobs before she leaves with a dance troupe, touring Turkey, Switzerland, and Italy. In Italy she finds a home, at last, and a small measure of peace; there, too, she falls in love and marries.
Writing as herself, Edith Bruck closes Lost Bread by addressing a letter to God expressing her rejection of hatred, her love for life, and her hope never to lose her memory or ability to continue speaking for those who perished in the Nazi concentration camps. After the book’s publication in Italy, Pope Francis visited Bruck and thanked her for bearing witness to the atrocities of the Holocaust. -
Della Republica Ecclesiastica
William Connell
Donato Giannotti nació en Florencia en 1492, pocos meses después de la muerte de Lorenzo el Magnífico. Aunque mucho más joven, conoció a Maquiavelo y fue su amigo. Fue secretario de la República de Florencia entre 1527 y 1530, antes del regreso de los odiados Médicis. Después emigró exiliado al Véneto y luego a Roma, donde murió en 1572. Escribió tres volúmenes sobre el correcto establecimiento de un gobierno republicano: Della Republica Fiorentina (1538), el diálogo Della Republica de' Vinitiani (1540), que tuvo mucho éxito, concluyendo la trilogía con el tratado Della Republica Ecclesiastica (1541), escrito a petición del cardenal Niccolò Ridolfi, su protector, y leído sólo por unos pocos amigos de confianza por temor a las autoridades eclesiásticas. Recientemente se ha encontrado una copia manuscrita de esta obra, que se publica aquí por primera vez. Así pues, el volumen constituye una novedad absoluta. La importancia de este texto reside ya en el hecho de que se trata de la primera historia de la Iglesia escrita por un laico. Pero, además, es el contenido del último capítulo lo que sorprende y hace que el libro esté destinado a convertirse en un objeto de estudio fundamental para los historiadores. En efecto, allí Giannotti, en los albores del Concilio de Trento, enuncia su propuesta política: esto es, desplazar la autoridad política de la Iglesia del Papa al Colegio cardenalicio, a semejanza de la relación entre dux y senado en la República de Venecia.

The Generational Gap in American Politics
Patrick Fisher
"This book examines the history of the generational gap in American politics, with an emphasis on the remarkable contemporary gap. Using data derived primarily from the American National Election Studies (ANES), 2020 National Election Pool, A.P VoteCast, and the Pew Research Center, Patrick Fisher argues that the political environment experienced by successive generations as they have come of age, politically influences political attitudes throughout one's life. The result is that different generations have distinct political leanings that they will maintain over their lifetimes. Fisher examines each generation from the Greatest Generation through to Generation Z, who have recently started to come of voting age. He cites the entrance of the Millennial Generation and Generation Z into the electorate as completely changing the generational dynamics of American politics, through their distinct political leanings that are significantly to the left of older generations. As a result he concludes that demographically, politically, economically, socially, and technologically, the generations are more different from each other now than at any time in living memory. The Generational Gap in American Politics will appeal to a scholarly and public audience interested in American politics in general and political behavior in particular"-- Provided by publisher.

Murmuring Against Moses: The Contentious History and Contested Future of Pentateuchal Studies
Jeffrey Morrow
"For much of the history of both Judaism and Christianity, the Pentateuch--first five books of the Bible--was understood to be the unified work of a single inspired author: Moses. Yet the standard view in modern biblical scholarship contends that the Pentateuch is a composite text made up of fragments from diverse and even discrepant sources that originated centuries after the events it purports to describe. In Murmuring against Moses, John Bergsma and Jeffrey Morrow provide a critical narrative of the emergence of modern Pentateuchal studies and challenge the scholarly consensus by highlighting the weaknesses of the modern paradigms and mustering an array of new evidence for the Pentateuch's antiquity. By shedding light on the past history of research and the present developments in the field, Bergsma and Morrow give fresh voice to a growing scholarly dissatisfaction with standard critical approaches and make an important contribution toward charting a more promising future for Pentateuchal studies"-- Provided by publisher.

The Filmmaker's Guide to Creatively Embracing Limitations: Not Getting What You Want Leading to Creative What You Need
William Pace and Ingrid Stobbe
Starting out as a filmmaker comes with a host of limitations and restrictions leading to one key question: how do you channel your creativity past these daunting challenges to create compelling and impactful films? Authors William Pace and Ingrid Stobbe advise the key is to not consider them roadblocks to being creative, but opportunities. Providing both historical and contemporary examples, as well as outlining practical exercises filmmakers can apply to their own creative processes, they illustrate how filmmakers can transform obstacles into successes.
Looking into limitations and restrictions arising at all stages of the film production process, the book illuminates the importance of developing unique creative muscles and how to apply them to your own work. This is a unique text in the field that provides both a theoretical and practical approach to inspired and savvy filmmaking that uses limitations as points of inspiration. Drawing on examples from artists like Frank Oz, Pete Docter, Gabby Sumney, and Shaun Clarke, filmmakers will gain a well-rounded understanding of the creative processes behind motion picture production and learn how to shape their own independent creative voice when utilizing budget-conscious, creatively aware filmmaking. Foregrounding limitation-embracing strategy and capability, making a film for the first time or with limited resources is no longer overwhelming with this highly practical textbook.
Ideal for undergraduate students of film production and first-time filmmakers.

Seton Hall University: A History, 1856–2006
Dermot Quinn
Founded in 1856 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley of Newark, Seton Hall University has played a large part in New Jersey and American Catholic life for nearly two centuries. From its modest beginnings as a small college and seminary to its present position as a major national university, it has always sought to provide “a home for the mind, the heart, and the spirit.”
In this vivid and elegantly written history, Dermot Quinn examines how Seton Hall was able to develop as an institution while keeping faith with its founder’s vision. Looking at the men and women who made Seton Hall what it is today, he paints a compelling picture of a university that has enjoyed its share of triumphs but has also suffered tragedy and loss. He shows how it was established in an age of prejudice and transformed in the aftermath of war, while exploring how it negotiated between a distinctly Roman Catholic identity and a mission to include Americans of all faiths.
Seton Hall University not only recounts the history of a great educational institution, it also shares the personal stories of the people who shaped it and were shaped by it: the presidents, the priests, the faculty, the staff, and of course, the students. -
Early Modern Liveness: Mediating Presence in Text, Stage and Screen
Danielle Rosvally and Donovan Sherman
What does it mean for early modern theatre to be 'live'? And how have audiences over time experienced a sense of 'liveness'? This collection extends discussions of 'liveness' to works from the 16th and 17th century, both in their initial incarnations and contemporary adaptations. Drawing on media theory, this study uses the concept of 'liveness' to consider how the early modern theatre - including non-Western and non-traditional performance practices - employs embodiment, materiality, temporality and perception to impress on its audience a sensation of presence. The volume's contributors adopt varying approaches and cover a range of topics from material textual studies, to early modern rehearsal methods, to the legacy of Shakespearean performance in global theatrical repertoires. This collection looks to both early modern and contemporary performance practices to challenge our understanding of 'live' performance. Productions and adaptions discussed include the Royal Shakespeare Company's The Winter's Tale and the National Theatre's Romeo and Juliet (2021), Kit Monkman's Macbeth and Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider. Early Modern Liveness looks beyond theatrical events as primary sites of interpretive authority and examines the intimate and ephemeral experience of encountering early modern theatre in its diverse manifestations.

From Conquest to Colony: Empire, Wealth, and Difference in Eighteenth-Century Brazil
Kirsten Schultz
Transformations in Portugal and Brazil followed the discovery of gold in Brazil's hinterland and the hinterland's subsequent settlement. Although earlier conquests and evangelizations had incorporated new lands and peoples into the monarchy, royal officials now argued that the extraction of gold and the imperatives of rivalry and commerce demanded new approaches to governance to ensure that Brazil's wealth flowed to Portugal and into imperial networks of exchange. Using archival records of royal and local administrations, as well as contemporary print culture, Kirsten Schultz shows how the eighteenth-century Portuguese crown came to define and defend Brazil as a "colony" that would reinvigorate Portuguese power. Making Brazil a colony entailed reckoning with dynamic societies that encompassed Indigenous peoples, Africans, and Europeans; the free and the enslaved; the wealthy and the poor. It also involved regulating social relations defined by legal status, ancestry, labor, and wealth to ensure that Portuguese America complemented and supported, rather than reproduced, metropolitan ways of producing and consuming wealth.

The Future of Business Schools: Purpose, Action, and Impact
Rico J. Baldegger, Ayman El Tarabishy, David B. Audretsch, Dafna Kariv, Katia Passerini, and Wee-Liang Tan
Are business schools on the wrong track? For many years, business schools enjoyed rising enrollments, positive media attention, and growing prestige in the business world. However, due to the disruption of Covid-19, many previously ignored issues relating to MBA programs resurfaced. As a result, MBA programs now face lower enrollments and intense criticism for being deficient in preparing future business leaders and ignoring essential topics like ethics, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. The Future of Business Schools discusses these issues in the context of three critical areas: complexity, sustainability, and destiny.
