In 1967 the world of Milton studies was divided into two armed
camps, one proclaiming that Milton was of the devil's party, the
other proclaiming that the poet's sympathies are obviously with God
and the angels loyal to him. The achievement of Stanley Fish's
Surprised by Sin was to reconcile the two camps by subsuming their
claims in a single overarching thesis: Paradise Lost is a poem
about how its readers came to be the way they are and therefore the
fact of their divided responses makes perfect sense. Thirty years
later the issues raised in Surprised by Sin continue to set the
agenda and drive debate.
This book introduces readers to the concept and theories of decent
work and provides a framework for measuring it at the micro, meso
and macro level in a given country. Further, it addresses the
importance of measuring decent work in today's world and in
connection with the different challenges countries face depending
on their respective stage of development. The essence of the book
lies in highlighting the practical applications of decent work in
terms of its ability to deliver empirical measurements of
qualitative and subjective phenomena with a mixed-methods approach
combining tools and techniques from economics and statistics.
Moreover, as the applicability of decent work is not confined to
the IT industry and formal sectors of the economy, the book also
provides useful guidelines on how further empirical studies can be
undertaken to measure decent work in non-IT industries. As such,
the book offers a rich compilation of empirical and theoretical
contributions on decent work designed to not only enrich readers'
understanding, but also promote awareness of the practical
relevance and technical aspects of the subject matter.

This book integrates research in positive psychology, Islamic
psychology, and Muslim wellbeing in one volume, providing a view
into the international experiential and spiritual lives of a
religious group that represents over 24% of the world's population.
It incorporates Western psychological paradigms, such as the
theories of Jung, Freud, Maslow, and Seligman with Islamic ways of
knowing, while highlighting the struggles and successes of
minoritized Muslim groups, including the LGBTQ community, Muslims
with autism, Afghan Shiite refugees, and the Uyghur community in
China.It fills a unique position at the crossroad of multiple
social science disciplines, including the psychology of religion,
cultural psychology, and positive psychology. By focusing on the
ways in which spirituality, struggle, and social justice can lead
to purpose, hope, and a meaningful life, the book contributes to
scholarship within the second wave of positive psychology (PP 2.0)
that aims to illustrate a balance between positive and negative
aspects of human experience. While geared towards students,
researchers, and academic scholars of psychology, culture, and
religious studies, particularly Muslim studies, this book is also
useful for general audiences who are interested in learning about
the diversity of Islam and Muslims through a research-based social
science approach.

Written in the 1820s, Sair-ul-Manazil, as far as we know, is the
first attempt to systematically list the monuments of the city of
Delhi. Apart from public buildings like mosques, temples, shrines,
and tombs, it lists wells, gardens, houses, shops, and stray
graves. This was in itself a formidable task, and one that might
easily have resulted in a very dry and tedious document. The
author, however, considerably enlivens it by a description of the
various localities of the city, of the people who lived and worked
there in his time, social activities and fairs, and historical
anecdotes connected with places and people. The original was
written in Persian by a person variously known as Sangin and Sangin
Beg, and the volume is translated from an Urdu translation by the
late Nausheen Jaffery, with an introduction by Swapna Liddle. It
also includes maps and sketches which will both illustrate the
narrative and bring a visual life to it.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a unique, highly
aggressive neoplasm with characteristic topographic, histologic,
immunohistochemical, cytogenetic and molecular features. It chiefly
affects adolescent males and young adults and is most frequently
presented as a large abdominal mass with widespread peritoneal
involvement at the time of diagnosis. Histologically, it is
composed of nests of small, undifferentiated round or oval
hyperchromatic cells embedded in abundant desmoplastic stroma. A
multidisciplinary treatment including chemotherapy, aggressive
debulking surgery, radiation and myeloablative chemotherapy with
stem cell rescue might be the proper approach to treat this rare
malignancy and may improve progression-free survival. This book
presents current research in the study of the desmoplastic small
round cell tumor.
This comprehensive text provides the reader with an in-depth
understanding of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), and presents a
practical and readable evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and
management of patients with this condition. It highlights options
for management of those patients who fail to improve with
traditional reflux treatment and assists in determining the next
steps in the management of this population. Information is
presented from an inter-disciplinary perspective, including input
by otolaryngology, gastroenterology, speech pathology, and
complementary/integrative medicine. The first section of the book
is dedicated to understanding the fundamentals of laryngopharyngeal
reflux as a condition. It begins with a review of the fundamental
anatomy and pathophysiology of LPR and summarizes the landmark and
most recent advances in the scientific understanding of this
condition. Subsequent chapters delve into the typical symptoms and
clinical presentations of patients, with information provided on
cost-effective work-up strategies to confirm the diagnosis. The
second section focuses on management of this condition. It begins
with a thorough review of traditional medical management, including
use of proton pump inhibitors, histamine receptor antagonists,
neutralizing agents, low acid diet, alkalinizing agents, and
alginates. Surgical management is reviewed as well, including
partial and full fundoplication operations. It concludes with
"non-traditional" treatment options for LPR, with chapters
dedicated to voice therapy, probiotics, herbal therapies, and
integrative East-West medicine approaches. Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Disease will be a definitive guide for otolaryngologists,
gastroenterologists, speech pathologists, and general physicians
with an interest in traditional and complementary/integrative
treatments for patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux.
