This book explores the origins and development of one of the most significant doctrines of Reformation theology. The innovative ways in which the Zurich reformer Huldrych Zwingli and his successor Heinrich Bullinger thought about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments left an indelible mark on the Reformed tradition in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Distinctively, Zwingli and Bullinger emphasized the continuity of both testaments and spoke of a single covenant between God and humanity. This would become one of the defining teachings of Reformed Christianity. This book follows the development of their "covenant theology" in the Reformation and argues for its adoption by John Calvin in Geneva and the German theologians of the post-Reformation era.

"Socialism Now. Singing Activism after Yugoslavia traces the activities of self-organized singing collectives that have been recuperating a repertoire of Yugoslav and international revolutionary, partisan, and workers' songs, and contemporary socially-engaged pieces in the last two decades. Their singing activism demasks the privatization, dispossession, and political and social fragmentation that, instead of a promised capitalist dreamland, have shaped lives in the region after the dissolution of socialist Yugoslavia. Combining historical and ethnographic approaches, Socialism Now offers a nuanced account of collective singing as the way of organizing against the adverse effects of neoliberalism in its potentialities and limits"--

Agents of Justice chronicles the key role played by agencies in shaping the development of the "litigation state": the American phenomenon of policy enforcement by private litigation. Quinn Mulroy argues that this enforcement strategy is very much by design, exploring how civil rights and environmental agencies established during the rights revolution developed creative strategies for mobilizing litigation by private individuals. The book examines how and when agency officials, acting as agents of justice, divert their attention and resources to helping level the playing field for private plaintiffs seeking to protect their rights through the legal system--ultimately transferring regulatory authority from the bureaucracy to the courts.

The second edition of Comprehensive Review of Headache Medicine begins with chapters on the anatomic and physiological foundations of head pain, followed by detailed sections on diagnosing primary and secondary headache conditions. Subsequent chapters cover the treatment of headache disorders, including special populations and complementary therapies. Expert authors have focused their chapters on the practical needs of medical, dental, and other healthcare providers, and each chapter includes a list of recommended readings and self-assessment questions (totaling 260 questions) to assist the reader to prepare for and pass the headache medicine board exam.

The Hand Behind Unmanned tells the fascinating story of the people, processes, and beliefs that led to the contemporary American unmanned arsenal. Jacquelyn Schneider and Julia Macdonald detail over a hundred years of advances in weapons technology, from mines and balloons to Predators and Reapers, to explain why certain types of unmanned systems became popular while others languished. Their exploration reveals how multiple factors--influential policy entrepreneurs, critical historical junctures, lessons from previous conflicts, and the military's own culture--all interacted in complex ways to generate today's unmanned arsenal. The book also provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of America's unmanned arsenal and the potential future pathways it might take.

The Arts of Encounter uncovers the significant role of religious images in literature, offering a new approach to understanding Christian-Muslim relations in early modern Spain.

The book is about the moral problem generated by morally controversial passages in scripture (and in the Qur'an in particular), passages that seem to allow violence and discrimination against women and sexual and religious minorities. The conservatives argue that scripture can override our own moral judgments and thus certain acts of violence or discrimination can be morally justified through scripture. The book explores this conservative argument and finds ways to undermine it. The book aims to show how a progressive Muslim, or a theist in general, can reject violence and discrimination without renouncing scripture as God's word. Moreover, the book provides a refreshing overview of the history of ethics in the Islamic tradition.

General Surgery Board Review is a comprehensive study of the principles and clinically relevant facts of general surgery, serving as a primary reference for residents during their training. It provides a fundamental understanding of all surgical specialties, the opportunity for improved clinical performance, and an avenue for residents to reach their potential on yearly in-service training exams and the national board exam.

In Aging Angry: Making Peace with Rage, Amanda Smith Barusch argues that now, more than ever, it is time for older adults to turn toward anger rather than denying or avoiding it. By taking anger seriously, we can neutralize its destructive potential and harness its energy and wisdom for personal and social change. Barusch forcefully demonstrates that anger--and even rage--can be transformative.

Different Beasts explores conceptions of animality and humanity as they emerge in the writings of Spinoza and in the ancient Chinese text known as the Zhuangzi. The project thus brings together works from distant and different pasts to bear on debates regarding the human-animal binary in its many constructions. It also investigates what is at stake in the formation of responsible comparison--one that is contextually grounded and refined in detail--to understand how the complex machinery behind the human-animal binary operates in different philosophical systems.

The first English language political history of Kuwaiti parliament, this book provides an unprecedented holistic treatment of grassroots contemporary Kuwaiti politics in English in over two decades, incorporating the country's political dynamics into broader debates about the limits of authoritarianism and the practice of democracy in the Arab world, particularly in oil-wealthy states. Author Courtney Freer uses the lens of parliamentary elections as a means of understanding the political ideologies that have dominated in Kuwait since independence. As such, it situates the dynamics of Kuwaiti politics within broader political science debates about whether democratic institutions in "hybrid regimes" are meaningful arenas for popular contestation or only serve to enhance autocratic rule.

Using insights from cognitive science, Comics and Cognition provides a cohesive framework for understanding how readers make meaning out of the many features of comics, including images, language, and layouts, and in a range of styles from realistic to very abstract cues. Mike Borkent unpacks many unconscious patterns and processes that support the why's and how's of the textual experience, showing how perception, interaction, synthesis, and improvisation produce a dynamic interplay between the reader and the text creating a unique texture to readerly experience, including the development of different viewpoints, senses of time, and metacommentaries.
