Much has been written about the law as it affects new and minority religions, but relatively little has been written about how such religions react to the law. This book presents a wide variety of responses by minority religions to the legal environments within which they find themselves. An international panel of experts offer examples from North America, Europe and Asia demonstrating how religions with relatively little status may resort to violence or passive acceptance of the law; how they may change their beliefs or practices in order to be in compliance with the law; or how they may resort to the law itself in order to change their legal standing, sometimes by forging alliances with those with more power or authority to achieve their goals. The volume concludes by applying theoretical insights from sociological studies of law, religion and social movements to the variety of responses. The first systematic collection focussing on how minority religions respond to efforts at social control by various governmental agents, this book provides a vital reference for scholars of religion and the law, new religious movements, minority religions and the sociology of religion.

The Totally Football Book will feature the best writing from the Totally Football Show regulars, who by happy coincidence also happen to be among the finest football journalists around, and will be the definitive account of where football is at. Containing a series of essays looking at the state of the game, with the combination of irreverence and analysis that everyone will know from the podcast and lots more besides. Carl Anka will consider the shadow that Covid-19 still casts over the game, and asks what asterisks should be placed against the seasons impacted by the pandemic. Daniel Storey looks at the war in Ukraine through the prism of football, thinking about the game's place in the wider world and how, even though such astonishing events should mean football doesn't matter, it still really does. Sasha Goryunov takes a look at the astonishing rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City, Tom Williams writes about the unique relationship between Gareth Bale and Wales, Elias Burke considers the work that Wayne Rooney has done under extraordinary circumstances at Derby, Katie Whyatt looks at Ella Toone and Lauren Hemp, two of the finest players in the women's game, Maher Mezahi profiles Aliou Cisse after he led Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations glory and much, much more. There will also be a day-by-day account of the key events of the 2021/22 season, from the traditional curtain-raiser of the Community Shield right through to the Champions League final, with everything from transfers, fights, sackings, arguments...and plenty of actual football too in between. And finally, of course, the quiz. The Inter Totally Cup crowned a new champion this year, and with the sort of trivia that has stumped even the podcast's finest brains, plus a set of teasers about the season just gone, you can test your knowledge against ours.

Poetry. ..".There's a broad, probing, unusual intelligence in Richardson's] work, an unusual kind of technical introspection and a wide-ranging inspiration and content that use as their matter images and ideas from sources as far afield as ancient philosophy, and contemporary science...it is work that brings news to us of packets of mental and emotional experience that haven't sung so well together in poetry for a longer time than one would care to think"--C.K. Williams. James Richardson is the author of five books of poetry, including VECTORS: APHORISMS & TEN-SECOND ESSAYS, and several critical studies. The recipient of the Cecil Hemley and Robert H. Winner Prizes from the Poetry Society of America, he is Professor of English and Creative Writing at Princeton University.
