The Luminous Fairies and Mothra
Jeffrey Angles, Takehiko Fukunaga, Yoshie Hotta, and Shin'ichirō Nakamura
The original story that hatched Mothra, one of the most beloved monsters in the "kaijuverse"--available in English for the first time
Mystical and benevolent, the colossal lepidopteran Mothra has been one of the most beloved kaiju since 1961, when The Luminous Fairies and Mothra was originally published in Japanese. Commissioned by Tōhō Studios from three of Japan's most prominent postwar literary writers (Shin'ichirō Nakamura, Takehiko Fukunaga, and Yoshie Hotta), the novella formed the basis for the now-classic monster film Mothra, with a protagonist second only to Godzilla in number of film appearances by a kaiju. Finally available in its first official English translation, The Luminous Fairies and Mothra will captivate ardent, longtime fans of the films as well as newcomers.
Written just months after the largest political demonstrations Japan had ever seen, The Luminous Fairies and Mothra reflects the rebellious spirit of the time. In this original story, explorers visit a South Pacific island and capture a group of fairies, inciting the fury of the goddess Mothra, who sets out for Japan on a mission of rescue and revenge. Expressing a powerful social stance about Japan's need to chart its own foreign policy during the Cold War, the novella's political message was ultimately toned down in the Tōhō Studios film. Through this translation, Anglophone audiences will discover Mothra as a figure of protest fiction intricately reflecting the complex geopolitical situation in early 1960s Japan.
The Luminous Fairies and Mothra is translated into lively prose by Jeffrey Angles, who also wrote an extensive afterword about the novella's cultural context, the unusual story of its composition, and the development of the 1961 film. Following Angles's best-selling translation of the original Godzilla novellas, this new work will once again delight kaiju fans everywhere.

Rainforest Radicals: A History of Rainforest Action Network and Transnational Organizing
David Benac
Rainforest Radicals presents the first history of one of the most innovative and successful environmental organizations of the late twentieth century. Rainforest Action Network emerged in 1985, when it took over a fledgling effort to protect rainforests from transnational corporations funding the expansion of tropical cattle ranching. It excelled at using nonviolent, civil disobedience in dramatic campaigns that captured the attention of the public, media, and RAN’s corporate adversaries. As a result, two decades later rainforest conservation went from a niche academic topic to a fixture in American popular culture, the rights of Indigenous people had gone from ignored or romanticized to at least considered in discussions of the management of their ancestral homelands, and RAN had scored a series of victories over some of the planet’s largest corporations.
In Rainforest Radicals David Benac traces the evolution of RAN and radical, transnational grassroots environmentalism through the four campaigns identified at the group’s founding: rainforest beef, Hawai‘ian rainforests, tropical timber, and multinational development banks. Forty years after RAN’s inception, there is much to learn from how it organized people in small towns and large cities across the United States, created alliances that spanned oceans, and inspired a new movement that integrated human rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and environmental protection to challenge multinational corporations, national governments, and neocolonial corporate-led globalism.
Through more than thirty oral histories, including those of key players from different eras of RAN’s history as well as leaders from other environmental and Indigenous rights organizations, Rainforest Radicals provides unparalleled insight into the network.

Remembering the Dead in Modern China: Religious Rituals of Remembrance
Stephen G. Covell, Ying Zeng, and Stuart H. Young
Remembering the Dead in Modern China is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume that brings together diverse scholarly perspectives to examine the complex and evolving practices of death, dying, and remembrance in modern China. Studying the ideals and practices of caring for the dead is essential to understanding social and cultural change in modern China. The chapters in this volume elucidate the many ways in which remembrance of the dead challenges established norms.
The contributors show how acts of remembrance provide opportunities to find meaning in the untimely loss of loved ones; to challenge cultural conventions by generating significance from absence in burial rituals; to refashion mourning rites in response to modern political demands; and to forge bonds between urban and rural mortuary communities. The chapters trace transformations in how the dead are remembered across a broad social spectrum, from the Imperial Court to factory workers in Maoist China to contemporary Christian converts. Taken together, they offer valuable insight into how political, economic, and religious changes have influenced people's interactions with the dead and how those interactions, in turn, reshape the political, economic, and religious landscape.
Featuring original research and thoughtful analysis, this volume makes a significant contribution to death studies, Chinese studies, religious studies, history of religion, anthropology, and sociology. This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in the intersection of tradition and modernity in Chinese cultural practices surrounding mortality.

Saint Benedict, Montecassino, and the Crisis of Ninth-Century Southern Lombards in Early Medieval Cassinese Memory
Luigi Andrea Berto
The dissolution of the Lombard political unity in southern Italy and the Muslim military activities in that area rendered the ninth century a crucial, yet troubled period for the history of this part of the Italian peninsula. The abbey of Montecassino was deeply affected by those events as well. Its riches, in fact, made it an easy target for the Muslims, who, after imposing heavy tributes on the monastery, pillaged and destroyed it in 883. Several years had to pass before Saint Benedict's monks could return to Montecassino. In the difficult period of exile they put a lot of effort in the reconstruction of their community's identity as well as in reaffirming its role as repository of southern Italy's memory. In this process of reconstruction the texts known as The Chronicles of Saint Benedict of Cassino had the fundamental task of describing as well as explaining the events that had provoked the crisis of southern Lombard Italy.
Using a topical approach and presenting the English translation and the Latin text of excerpts from The Chronicles of Saint Benedict of Cassino, this volume examines how the Cassinese historians narrated that tragic period and at the same time mentioned the glorious times of Saint Benedict's foundation of Montecassino.
Saint Benedict, Montecassino, and the Crisis of Ninth-Century Southern Lombards in Early Medieval Cassinese Memory will appeal to scholars and students of early medieval southern Italy, as well as all those interested in medieval Europe and the medieval Mediterranean.

Water Spell: A Memoir
Catherine Broadwall
Water Spell is, at its heart, a work of bibliotherapy. In this practice, counselors prescribe books as they would medicine, using stories as entry points for reflection, confrontation of pain, and eventual healing. Catherine Broadwall acts as both doctor and patient throughout her debut memoir, suturing her own wounds. While bibliotherapy and ekphrasis-writing inspired by visual art-are often reserved for traditional, canonically-approved texts, here Broadwall applies them to things like Pixar films, music videos, fairy tales, and video games. She democratizes these tools, showing that a reader's delight in any narrative can spark profound revelation and growth.

The Changing Landscape of Religious Expression in Us Public Schools
Brett A. Geier
This book explores the intersection of issues related to religion and state in public schools in the United States. Framed through a study of the landmark 2022 Supreme Court case Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, where a high school football coach's post-game prayers at midfield became the centerpiece of a major ruling on religious expression in public schools, the book analyzes how this case represents a significant shift in the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Establishment Clause, particularly under the Roberts Court, which has increasingly favored religious freedom claims over strict separation of church and state. Through eleven chapters, Geier explores the historical context of religion in American public schools, the rise and fall of the Lemon test, the influence of Christian Nationalism, and provides a detailed analysis of both the majority opinion written by Justice Gorsuch and the dissent by Justice Sotomayor. Drawing from his experience as a public school administrator and legal researcher, Geier argues that this ruling signals a new era where individual religious rights are being prioritized over Establishment Clause concerns in public schools, potentially leading to increased religious expression in educational settings.

Sins of Excess: The Spatial Politics of Idolatry and Magic in Colonial Mexico
Anderson Hagler
For the Spanish colonizers of Mexico in the sixteenth century, the concept of "excess"--even the word itself--covered a multitude of sins, including idolatry and magic. In Sins of Excess, Anderson Hagler uses the language of excess as a lens for examining how the colonizers of New Spain conflated cultural diversity into a superficially--and usefully--homogeneous whole under the pejorative umbrella of excess in its many forms. In this way, Hagler suggests, deploying excess and its derivatives influenced how Spanish colonists came to view the practices of the Indigenous population. In the viceroyalty of New Spain descriptive terms such as "harms and excesses" (daños y excesos) not only referred to crimes like murder and robbery (muertes y robos) but also became generalized to refer to Native religious, social, or cultural practices that fell outside the boundaries of Catholic orthodoxy. A reading of royal decrees and ecclesiastical missives, commoner testimony from criminal cases, and the trials of the Mexican Inquisition reveals a calculated rhetorical strategy that gathered non-European social-cultural experiences into a negative category. Consequently, "excess" provides an analytical framework for understanding how colonial officials interacted with Indigenous peoples and those of African descent as they attempted to impose social order. While primary sources in non-European languages such as Nahuatl reveal a similar preoccupation with excess, Hagler reveals in this insightful book how incongruities between Nahua and Spanish interpretations of the term extended through the colonial era and generated increasing conflict.

Icons Axed, Freedoms Lost: Russian Desecularization and a Ukrainian Alternative
Vyacheslav Karpov and Rachel L. Schroeder
In Icons Axed, Freedoms Lost, Vyacheslav Karpov and Rachel L. Schroeder demonstrate how Russia went from persecuting believers to jailing critics of religion and why, in contrast, religious pluralism and tolerance have solidified in Ukraine. Offering a richly documented history of cultural and political struggles that surrounded desecularization--the resurgence of religion's societal role--from the end of the USSR to the Russo-Ukrainian war, they show Russian critics of desecularization adhered to artistic provocations, from axing icons to "punk-prayers" in cathedrals, and how Orthodox activists, in turn, responded by vandalizing controversial exhibits and calling on the state to crush "the enemies of the Church." Putin's solidifying tyranny heard their calls and criminalized insults to religious feelings. Meanwhile, Ukraine adhered to its pluralistic legacies. Its churches refused to engage in Russian-style culture wars, sticking instead to forgiveness and forbearance. Icons Axed, Freedoms Lost offers original theoretical and methodological perspectives on desecularization applicable far beyond the cases of Russia and Ukraine.

Apocalyptic Crimes: Why Nuclear Weapons Are Illegal and Must Be Abolished
Ronald C. Kramer
In 2023, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the iconic Doomsday Clock to ninety seconds to midnight--the closest to midnight, or civilization-ending apocalypse, it has ever been. Designed at the onset of the Cold War amid new fears of atomic weapons, the Doomsday Clock is a symbolic countdown to annihilation. Now, a generation later, the world is more vulnerable than ever to the nuclear weapons it sought to warn against. In Apocalyptic Crimes, Ronald C. Kramer reconsiders the immense danger these weapons pose to humanity, examining the use, threat to use, and continued possession of nuclear weapons from a criminological perspective. Kramer argues that any country holding on to its nuclear arsenal--including the United States--is committing a criminal act. Offering a sharp rebuke to the common claim that nuclear stockpiles serve to deter the escalation of conflict, Apocalyptic Crimes emphasizes the harm caused by the mere possession of these deadly weapons. It further considers the culpability of political officials, acting as representatives of the state, whose threatening statements about nuclear weapons contain actions or omissions that violate specific international laws. But Kramer also shows how a nuclear apocalypse might be averted and offers a pathway to disarmament. Through critical analysis and a specific criminology of nuclear weapons, Kramer outlines the political actions necessary to rewind the Doomsday Clock and pull the world back from the brink of destruction--before the clock strikes midnight.

Measure and Integral: Theory and Practice
John Srdjan Petrovic
This accessible introduction to the topic covers the theory of measure and integral, as introduced by Lebesgue and developed in the first half of the 20th century. It leads naturally to Banach spaces of functions and linear operators acting on them.
This material in Measure and Integral: Theory and Practice is typically covered in a graduate course and is almost always treated in an abstract way, with little or no motivation. The author employs a plethora of examples and exercises and strives to motivate every concept with its historical background. This textbook is accessible to a wider range of students, including at the undergraduate level.
A major problem facing anyone teaching measure theory is how to combine the elementary approach (measure on the real line or in the plane) and the abstract measure theory. The author develops a theory of measure in the plane, then shows how to generalize these ideas to an abstract setting.
The result is a textbook accessible to a wider range of students.
The material requires a good understanding of topics often referred to as advanced calculus, such as Riemann integration on Euclidean spaces and series of functions. Also, a reader is expected to be proficient in the basics of set theory and point-set topology, preferably including metric spaces.

Disruption and Dissent in Public Diplomacy
Anna Popkova
This book explores the significant yet understudied role of non-state actors (NSAs) as agents of disruption and dissent in public diplomacy. While existing research mainly focuses on collaborative aspects of state-NSA relations, this book delves into instances where NSAs challenge their states' foreign and domestic policies, directly impacting public diplomacy efforts. From protests challenging the "good" image that the state governments try to project, to activities of governments-in-exile and dissenting diaspora groups, to cities taking actions that defy official state policies - examples of non-state actors engaging in political dissent and disrupting the public diplomacy efforts of their states can be found in virtually any region and political system. Yet the phenomenon of political dissent and its role in public diplomacy remains understudied by public diplomacy scholars. This book seeks to fill this gap.
