Honne, the Spirit of the Chehalis embodies a narrative tour de force that interweaves episodes (that stand alone in ordinary tellings) into an integrated series of installments. This collection of Salish stories features the Changer's efforts to successively transform a proto-being or spirit into the present form of a named species (deer, owl, shark, sea otter, and others). Additional stories describe how the Changer allowed Bear or Ant to apportion day and night; permitted Frog to schedule tides; and taught humans how to cook meat and clams, hunt with a bow, dry berries, cure sickness, settle communities, and prepare for the afterworld. These tales are told by George Sanders, a master storyteller whose family included chiefs of the Nisqually Indian tribe, which lives south of what is now Tacoma, Washington. As part of the oral tradition, these stories were rarely heard by those outside the area until Katherine Van Winkle Palmer, daughter of the local doctor, collected them for posterity. Jay Miller introduces this new edition with a close look at the linguistic complexity of the region, which testifies to the rich diversity of the Americas before epidemics and dislocations took their devastating toll. By weaving together these masterful installments, Honne, the Spirit of the Chehalis provides an evocative example of interwoven Salish oral literature at its best.

Religion plays a vital role in geopolitics and in the course of student's lives even if they are not religious. Yet, students often lack a framework for understanding how current arrangements and situations came to be or for understanding why religion operates as such an important force. Featuring a unique approach, The Air We Breathe: A Sociology of Religion helps students learn sociology by studying religion. The book is situated around themes that apply across the field, not just to religion, and includes theories and ideas from outside of the subfield when appropriate (e.g., gender, organizational theory, group theory, etc.). The Air We Breathe: A Sociology of Religion by George Sanders and Josh Packard: Gets readers to apply the sociological perspective by drawing on the available research and theories in the sociology of religion and the larger discipline of sociology to answer overriding questions about how religion shapes and is shaped by larger social forces. Incorporates more recent empirical and theoretical developments that have taken place outside of the sociology of religion. Is organized around central, interesting questions that students find accessible. These questions are answered with current research that has been applied in order to highlight the pragmatism of sociology of religion research. Features an international, pragmatic, comparative approach that illustrates the unique role of religion in the modern world and highlights how it shapes and is shaped by other social forces and institutions.
