What Democrats Talk about When They Talk about God is a collection
of essays on the religious communication of members of the
Democratic Party, past and present-in office, while campaigning,
and in their public and private writing. While many books on the
market address issues at the intersection of church and state, none
to date have focused exclusively on Democrats as important
participants in the dialogue about religion and politics.

As nations have aggressively implemented a wide range of mechanisms
to proactively curb potential threats terrorism, Counter-Terrorism
Laws and Freedom of Expression: Global Perspectives offers critical
insight into how counter-terrorism laws have adversely affected
journalism practice, digital citizenship, privacy, online activism,
and other forms of expression. While governments assert the need
for such laws to protect national security, critics argue
counter-terrorism laws are prone to be misappropriated by state
actors who use such laws to quash political dissent, target
journalists, and restrict other forms of citizen expression. The
book is divided into three parts. Part I deals with the politics
and discourse of counter-terrorism laws. Part II focuses on the
ways counter-terrorism laws have impacted journalistic practice in
different countries, with effects ranging from imprisonment of
reporters to self-censorship. Part III addresses how
counter-terrorism laws have been used to target everyday citizens,
social media activists, whistleblowers, and human rights advocates
around the world. Together, the chapters address how
counter-terrorism laws have undermined democratic values in both
authoritarian and liberal political contexts. Scholars of political
science, communication, and legal studies will find this book
particularly interesting.

Once deemed an unworthy research endeavor, the study of sports
fandom has garnered the attention of seasoned scholars from a
variety of academic disciplines. Identity and socialization among
sports fans are particular burgeoning areas of study among a
growing cadre of specialists in the social sciences. Sports Fans,
Identity, and Socialization, edited by Adam C. Earnheardt, Paul
Haridakis, and Barbara Hugenberg, captures an eclectic collection
of new studies from accomplished scholars in the fields such as
communication, business, geography, kinesiology, media, and sports
management and administration, using a wide range of methodologies
including quantitative, qualitative, and critical analyses. In the
communication revolution of the twenty-first century, the study of
mediated sports is critical. As fans use all media at their
disposal to consume sports and carry their sports-viewing
experience online, they are seizing the initiative and asserting
themselves into the mediated sports-dissemination process. They are
occupying traditional roles of consumers/receivers of sports, but
also as sharers and sports content creators. Fans are becoming
pseudo sports journalists. They are interpreting mediated sports
content for other fans. They are making their voice heard by sports
organizations and athletes. Mediated sports, in essence, provide a
context for studying and understanding where and how the
communication revolution of the twenty-first century is being
waged. With their collection of studies by scholars from North
America and Europe, Earnheardt, Haridakis, and Hugenberg illuminate
the symbiotic relationship among and between sports organizations,
the media, and their audiences. Sports Fans, Identity, and
Socialization spurs both the researcher and the interested fan to
consider what the study of sports tells us about ourselves and the
society in which we live.
