Acts of martyrdom have been found in nearly all the worlds major religious traditions. Though considered by devotees to be perhaps the most potent expression of religious faith, dying for ones god is also one of the most difficult concepts for modern observers of religion to understand. This is especially true in the West, where martyrdom has all but disappeared and martyrs in other cultures are often viewed skeptically and dismissed as fanatics. This book seeks to foster a greater understanding of these acts of religious devotion by explaining how martyrdom has historically been viewed in the worlds major religions. It provides the first sustained, cross-cultural examination of this fascinating aspect of religious life. Margaret Cormack begins with an introduction that sets out a definition of martyrdom that serves as the point of departure for the rest of the volume. Then, scholars of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam examine martyrdom in specific religious cultures. Spanning 4000 years of history and ranging from Saul in the Hebrew Bible to Sati immolations in present-day India, this book provides a wealth of insight into an often noted but rarely understood cultural phenomenon.

Traditional philosophy places a singular emphasis on tragedy, acting under the assumption that tragedy is more profound than comedy. Gelven argues that comedy deserves equal if not greater attention from philosophy. Through the interpretative readings and concrete analysis of three classical works, Gelven shows that comedy provides an access to truth unavailable by any other means. Silvius in Shakespeares's As You Like It, Cherubino in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and Lord Goring in Wilde's An Ideal Husband are examined in terms of why and how they are comic, along with how and why they are seen both as fools and yet as graced. Gelven finds that in revealing the spirit of graced folly, comedy teaches us about our own essence, the fundamental nature of our finitude. This will undoubtedly be of considerable importance not only to philosophical aestheticians or literary critics, but also for those seeking to understand the nature of truth itself.

During the past 30 years, there have been a steadily increasing number of scientific and popular publications dealing with lying and deception. Questions about the extent to which public officials are deceptive are standard fare in current magazines and newspapers. This volume aims to present on a more precise conceptualization of this phenomenon, manifested in some well-known constructions like spin, hype, doublespeak, equivocation, and contextomy (quoting out of context). The contents of the volume have been generated for the New Agendas symposium at the University of Texas College of Communication, and all the authors are young, leading-edge researchers offering innovative perspectives and explorations of lying and deception in various contexts. This volume will appeal to scholars, researchers, and advanced/graduate students in communication, media, and psychology. It is written to the level of advanced undergraduates, and it is appropriate for use in courses covering lying and deception.

“Can someone please help me understand the craziness engulfing our family?” Daily this question screamed through Jemimah’s confused and anxious mind. Chaos ruled as in angst she watched the man she had married rotate his “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” personalities, leaving her feeling trapped and fearful. Jemimah Black takes us on an insightful journey from the exciting beginnings of her new dating relationship, into the gradual uncovering of the shocking truth that she had married an emotionally and psychologically abusive man. She seeks answers to her questions, “How did I get myself into this? Was I so ‘in love’ that I failed to see the signs? If this is now my reality, what is my response to be? Am I required to be silent and endure? Is there a time to stand up and speak up, even if it means losing everything I treasure?” If you are curious and brave enough to venture inside the home of a family experiencing abuse, this book swings the front doors wide open and invites you in. As you enter, you will be surprised and amazed at how, without a single physical blow, one person can hold an entire family hostage. You will not be able to read this book without being deeply challenged. It is an essential tool that sheds light on the dynamics of abuse and will make you question everything you think you know about family violence. Reading this book will not only change you, it might even help you save a life.
