Articulates a learning process to help Christians improve
approaches to understanding other religious traditions.
Understanding Other Religious Worlds is built on the difference
between learning facts about other religions and understanding them
and their followers in a wholistic manner. Berling argues that
incorporating the religious "other" in one's own Christian identity
is integral to living an authentic Christian life.
The volume features high-quality papers based on the presentations
at the ICOSAHOM 2020+1 on spectral and high order methods. The
carefully reviewed articles cover state of the art topics in high
order discretizations of partial differential equations. The volume
presents a wide range of topics including the design and analysis
of high order methods, the development of fast solvers on modern
computer architecture, and the application of these methods in
fluid and structural mechanics computations.
This volume brings together scholars from different fields to
explore the power, consequences and everyday practices of security
expertise. Expertise mediates between different forms of knowledge:
scientific and technological, legal, economic and political
knowledge. This book offers the first systematic study of security
expertise and opens up a productive dialogue between science and
technology studies and security studies to investigate the
character and consequences of this expertise. In security theory,
the study of expertise is crucial to understanding whose knowledge
informs security making and to reflect on the impact and
responsibility of security analysis. In science and technology
studies, the study of security politics adds a challenging new case
to the agenda of research on expertise and policy. The contributors
investigate cases such as academic security studies, security think
tanks, the collaboration between science, anthropology and the
military, transnational terrorism, and the ethical consequences of
security expertise. Together they challenge our understanding of
how expertise works and what consequences it has for security
politics and international relations. This book will be of
particular interest to students of critical security studies,
sociology, science and technology studies, and IR/security studies
in general.

A wide-ranging collection on one of the most interesting features
of medieval romance. Medieval romance frequently, and perhaps
characteristically, capitalises on the dramatic and suggestive
possibilities implicit in boundaries - not only the geographical,
political and cultural frontiers that medieval romances imagine and
imply, but also more metaphorical demarcations. It is these
boundaries, as they appear in insular romances circulating in
English and French, which the essays in this volume address. They
include the boundary between reality and fictionality; boundaries
between different literary traditions, modes and cultures; and
boundaries between different kinds of experience or perception,
especially the "altered states" associated with sickness, magic,
the supernatural, or the divine. CONTRIBUTORS: HELEN COOPER,

This book scrutinizes how contemporary practices of security have
come to rely on many different translations of security, risk, and
danger. Institutions of national security policies are currently
undergoing radical conceptual and organisational changes, and this
book presents a novel approach for how to study and politically
address the new situation. Complex and uncertain threat
environments, such as terrorism, climate change, and the global
financial crisis, have paved the way for new forms of security
governance that have profoundly transformed the ways in which
threats are handled today. Crucially, there is a decentralisation
of the management of security, which is increasingly handled by a
broad set of societal actors that previously were not considered
powerful in the conduct of security affairs. This transformation of
security knowledge and management changes the meaning of
traditional concepts and practices, and calls for investigation
into the many meanings of security implied when contemporary
societies manage radical dangers, risks, and threats. It is
necessary to study both what these meanings are and how they
developed from the security practices of the past. Addressing this
knowledge gap, the book asks how different ideas about threats,
risk, and dangers meet in the current practices of security,
broadly understood, and with what political consequences. This book
will be of interest to students of critical security studies,
anthropology, risk studies, science and technology studies and
International Relations. The Open Access version of this book,
