In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis makes the case that public discourse in America today is confused and hostile largely because we are thinking about politics all wrong. They argue that the assumption that the left-right divide is philosophical leads Americans to absolutism and extremism, but the reality is that nothing other than tribal loyalty unites the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Further, the book shows why the idea that the political spectrum models competing worldviews is the central political myth of our time.

Since John Esposito published his first book nearly 40 years ago, he has been guiding readers beyond misleading and dangerous stereotypes of Muslims. The essays in this volume highlight the contributions of scholars from a variety of disciplines who, like Esposito, present Islam as a multi-faceted and dynamic tradition embraced by communities in globally interconnected but substantially diverse contexts over the centuries.

In this ground-breaking synthesis of art and science, Diana Deutsch shows how illusions of music and speech have fundamentally altered thinking about the brain.

Drawing on psychology, music theory, linguistics, and neuroscience, this book will prove engrossing to specialists and non-specialists alike.

Mirrors of the Divine examines four early Christian authors--Tertullian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine of Hippo--and analyzes their writings on vision and knowledge of God to show how they envisioned one's relationship to the world and how they imagined the unknown. Emily R. Cain explores how contradictory theories of sight shaped their cosmologies, theologies, subjectivities, genders, and discursive worlds, and shows that early Christian arguments about the phenomenon of visual perception are deeply intertwined with broader debates about identity, agency, and epistemology.

Downsizing and outsourcing have contributed to increased job insecurity and inequality across the industrialized west. But under what conditions do companies take alternative approaches to restructuring that balance market demands for profits with social demands for high quality jobs? Virginia Doellgast compares the US and European telecommunications industries to show how labor can succeed. Market liberalization and shareholder pressure pushed employers to adopt often draconian cost cutting measures, but in certain countries labor unions pushed back with creative collective bargaining and organizing campaigns. Their success depended on the intersection of three factors: constraints on employer exit, support for collective worker voice, and strategies of inclusive labor solidarity. Based on findings from ten country studies, this book shows how different national political economic contexts shape what workers can and cannot accomplish.

Ummah Yet Proletariat explores how Islam and Marxism were both integral to Indonesian politics from the earliest days of the anticolonial movement to the imposition of the autocratic Soeharto regime in 1966. Lin Hongxuan demonstrates that many Indonesian Muslims adapted Marxist ideas, while many Indonesian Marxists found ways to square their Islamic identity with their political commitments. In doing so, he upends the conventional, state-driven narrative that Islam and Marxism are mutually exclusive and argues that these confluences were the product of Indonesian participation in broader networks of intellectual exchange across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

In The Shadow of Childhood Harm, Wolff, using a balance of compassion and evidence, takes readers through the lives of people who end up inside prison. Guided by the words of those who have lived the experience of harm, she weaves an expansive body of research that lays bare the harm that began in childhood (the curse) and its subsequent shadow that later, during adolescence and adulthood, manifests as harm to self and others, eventually culminating in crime that results in incarceration, where harm there, once again, repeats like a bad dream.

Through a series of close readings centered primarily on Virgil's Aeneid, Kirk Freudenburg shows that the experiential effects that Virgil puts into play do serious narrative work of their own by structuring lines of sight, both visual and emotive, and shifting them about in ways that move readers (interpellated as viewers) into and out of the visual and emotional worlds of the story's characters.

Loriliai Biernacki's The Matter of Wonder: Abhinavagupta's Panentheism and the New Materialism draws on Abhinavagupta's thought--and particularly his yet-untranslated, philosophical magnum opus, the Isvara Pratyabhijña Vivrti Vimarsin--to think through contemporary issues such as the looming prospect of machine AI, ideas about information, and our ecological crises. She argues that Abhinavagupta's panentheism can help us understand our current world and can contribute to a New Materialist reenvisioning of the relationship that humans have with matter.

Islamic Law and International Law provides a comprehensive comparison of the Islamic legal tradition and international law, especially in the context of dispute settlement. Do states of the Islamic milieu avoid international courts? How do they view mediation and arbitration? Is Islamic legal tradition incompatible with international law? The answer to the "Islamic law-international law nexus puzzle" lies in the diversity of how secular and religious laws fuse in domestic legal systems across the Islamic milieu. States are not Islamic to the same degree or in the same way. Consequently, different international conflict management methods appeal to different states.
