This volume addresses an important problem in social scientific
research on global religions and spirituality: How to evaluate the
role of diverse religious and spiritual (R/S) beliefs and practices
within the rapid evolution of spiritual globalization and
diversification trends. The book examines this question by bringing
together a panel of international scholars including psychologists,
sociologists, and researchers in religious studies, public health,
medicine, and social work. The content includes chapters describing
innovative concepts of post-Christian spirituality, Eastern forms
of meditation, afterlife beliefs associated with the three dominant
cultural legacies, various non-religious worldviews, spiritual
Jihad, and secular and religious reverence. The book also covers
such important themes as spiritual well-being, faith, struggle,
meaning making, modeling, and support, as well as mysticism and
using prayer to cope with existential crises. This book advances
the understanding of the role of R/S across different faiths and
cultural systems, including both Western and non-Western ones, and
enriches the mainstream of psychological sciences and practices. It
appeals to students, educators, researchers, and clinicians in
multiple related fields and disciplines.

In The Right to Parody: Comparative Analysis of Free and Fair
Speech, Amy Lai examines the right to parody as a natural right in
free speech and copyright, proposes a legal definition of parody
that respects the interests of rights holders and accommodates the
public's right to free expression, and describes mechanisms to
ensure that parody will best serve this purpose. Combining
philosophical inquiry with robust legal analysis, the book draws
upon examples from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom,
France, and Hong Kong. While it caters to scholars in intellectual
property and constitutional law, as well as free speech advocates,
it is written in a non-specialist language designed to appeal to
any reader interested in how the boom in online parodies and memes
relates to free speech and copyright.
