Spiritualitas Ekologis: Peran Agama dalam Mengatasi Krisis Iklim
Authors: Khalid Khalisah , Fansuri Hamzah 
Published: February 2025

Nilai-nilai agama dan isu lingkungan hidup sebenarnya tidak terpisahkan, tetapi sering dianggap sebagai hal yang berbeda karena pemaknaan agama yang sempit, yang hanya menekankan hubungan vertikal dengan Tuhan atau, jika diperluas, sebatas interaksi antar manusia. Namun, di tengah krisis multidimensi dan bencana iklim yang sebagian besar disebabkan oleh ulah manusia, pemaknaan beragama perlu diperluas agar mencakup kepedulian terhadap alam. Kesadaran akan peran agama dalam menyelamatkan Bumi semakin berkembang dalam dua dekade terakhir, mendorong umat beragama untuk merefleksikan kembali relasinya dengan Tuhan, sesama manusia, dan lingkungan— hablumminallah, hablumminannas, hablum minal alam. Pada akhirnya, spiritualitas harus menjadi pedoman dalam upaya kolektif menyelamatkan Bumi dan seluruh makhluk hidup dari ancaman krisis iklim.
EfficientNetB3 in Leukemia Detection: Advancements in Medical Imaging Analysis
Authors: Alshoraihy Aseel 
Published: February 2025

The diagnosis of leukemia is essential for prompt and effective treatment, but conventional methods can be invasive, costly, and lengthy. The emergence of sophisticated machine learning models, like the EfficientNetB3 model, presents a hopeful option by utilizing the capabilities of artificial intelligence to improve diagnostic methods. This literature review explores the application of EfficientNetB3 in leukemia diagnosis, emphasizing its methodology, benefits, and limitations. EfficientNetB3, a member of the EfficientNet family, employs a scalable neural network architecture that balances efficiency and accuracy, resulting in enhanced diagnostic precision and robustness. By automating the detection process, the model has the potential to significantly improve diagnostic speed while reducing reliance on invasive procedures. However, challenges persist, including the quality and diversity of training datasets, the interpretability of model decisions, and the computational resources required for large-scale implementation. Recent advancements suggest strategies to address these obstacles, showing the way for integrating EfficientNetB3 into clinical practice soon enough to improve patient outcomes in the future.

Theme of Promise in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Authors: Stevens Daniel 
Published: February 2025

Daniel Stevens analyses the use of the language of divine commitment in the Epistle to the Hebrews, arguing that the author distinguishes promise from the cultic language of covenant to sketch a unique mixture of continuity and discontinuity among the people of God across time.
Stevens stresses through an exegesis of relevant passages that rest is not the primary content of promise, nor is it the primary lens through which the other instances of promise language should be understood; suggesting instead that the promise is most closely associated with the benefits promised to Abraham, and then mediated through the various subsequent covenants. He further explores how the divine promise relates to both the Old and New Covenants, arguing that Hebrews develops a view of salvation history in which covenants are founded upon promises and then bring those promises to fruition. By demonstrating the ways in which this understanding of promise sheds light on the author’s hermeneutic and on his method of achieving his hortatory purposes for the epistle, Stevens concludes in a reassertion of the consistency of the author’s thought regarding promise.
Doctrine of God and the Crisis of Modernity
Authors: Michelson Jared 
Published: February 2025

In this incisive work, Michelson traces contemporary debates on the doctrine of God back in time to the philosophical critiques of Hume and Kant.
Schleiermacher and Barth each offered accounts of the doctrine of God. This book offers a critical evaluation of these accounts and demonstrates how they were responding to early modern critiques of the possibility of knowing God. Michelson also leverages Charnock’s account constructively to demonstrate how this earlier writer has the theological resources to tackle those same critiques.
Not content to stop there, Michelson also highlights how these critics built their arguments on faulty interpretations of classical theological tradition. In doing so, this book carves out a provocative, constructive path forward for contemporary theological reflection on the doctrine of God.
Standing Among the Spartans
Authors: Davies Philip John  Victor 
Published: February 2025

Conformity, uniformity, institutionality, exceptionality – each of these terms encapsulates an aspect of the common perception of Sparta, both among scholars and in the popular imagination.
This volume seeks to interrogate how rightly we may apply these terms to the Spartan citizen community in the classical period (approximately 500-350 BC) and reveals a much greater level of differentiation within this social group than is often assumed.
Drawing upon recent scholarship on Sparta, theoretical and methodological discussions from within the wider fields of classical studies and ancient history, and approaches to status and institutions developed in the social sciences, Philip John Victor Davies examines the diverse factors which influenced the standing of individuals within the Spartiate community and assesses how great a role institutions played in determining a Spartiate’s standing and to what extent Sparta was, as ancient accounts would suggest, significantly more institutionalized than other Greek societies. Placing Sparta in the context of the renewed interest in institutions and their social significance represented across multiple disciplines by the ‘New Institutionalist turn’, he presents a more dynamic understanding of the internal life of the Spartiate community, with a nuanced appreciation of the dimensions and limits of Sparta’s exceptionality.
Kathakali
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Sudha 
Published: February 2025

Authored by a leading exponent of the form, this book provides a clear guide to Kathakali, exploring its origin, evolution, and characteristics and the ways it has adapted for a 21st-century audience.
Kathakaliis an introduction to this vibrant mode of dance drama, which comes from Kerala in southwest India and combines poetry, music, rhythm, and dance to represent stories of gods, demons, and humans. Originating in the latter part of the 16th century, today Kathakali commands attention and involves practitioners from around the world. Largely drawing its stories from theRamayanaand theMahabharata, it integrates music, dance, grand makeup, and costume to evoke the epic universe. This book illuminates how Kathakali combines associated literary texts, performative conventions, and practices from local and pan-Indian contexts. The actors use their whole body—deploying complex dance movements, interpretive gestures, and highly developed facial expressions—as a site to depict, elaborate, and interpret action. Encapsulating the world of Kathakali, its performative grammar, and the aesthetic theories that underpin it, this book examines its history as one of continual change.
The book traces the distinctive features of Kathakali, which is sometimes tightly structured with fixed conventions, and sometimes fluid enough to incorporate imaginative flights of fancy. It assesses Kathakali’s cultural legacy and charts how the form has changed over the centuries. It also includes translations of extracts from poems, plays, and performance manuals, as well as interviews with actors and cultural historians.
Christians in the City of Nairobi
Authors: Mugambi Kyama , Shaw Mark 
Published: February 2025

In this book Kyama Mugambi and Mark Shaw examine the diverse expressions of Christianity in Metropolitan Nairobi, a city boasting a population of ten million, which is one of the most religiously pluralistic cities in the world. Founded in 1899 as little more than a train depot for the Uganda Railway, Nairobi has come a long way; mosques, megachurches and temples serve as the backdrop for examining Christianity and public life in this vibrant city.
This volume covers all the major Christian traditions practiced in the city, including Protestantism, Orthodoxy and Catholicism. The city is a laboratory of a new global pluralism, and avital centre of a new global Christian pluralism specifically. Mugambi and Shaw argue that this kind of pluralism is reshaping religion everywhere in the majority world.
Other themes include the role of women in Christianity, Kenyan Independent Churches, and the Christian youth movement. The book illuminates how through Christianity, Africans have begun to come to terms with modern urban realities, including religious pluralism, hypothesising how this process could unfold in other parts of the world.
Exploring Experiences of University Students with Learning Disabilities
Authors: Manase Ndakaitei 
Published: February 2025

This book examines the experiences of students with learning disabilities in South African higher education, exploring the different factors that shape students’ university engagements.
Students’ experiences, gathered through semi-structured interviews, are analysed within the Capability Approach to assess the way social arrangements influence students with learning disabilities’ academic engagements. The book then discusses the ways universities can foster opportunities that contribute to students’ multi-dimensional achievements for their academic and general wellbeing. The book exposes inequalities in higher education that impact students with learning disabilities who often operate in inflexible educational systems, practices and standardised learning outcomes that do not take into account the unique ways by which students with learning disabilities process information. The book sheds light on the educational trajectories and conditions which students with learning disabilities operate in.
Serbia’s Balancing Act
Authors: Vuksanovic Vuk 
Published: February 2025

The central country in the Western Balkans, Serbia puzzles observers by balancing its foreign policy between two competing great powers - Russia and the West. What drives a small country to behave like this?In this book, Vuk Vuksanovic explores the strategic trends which have shaped Serbian foreign policy, beginning in 2008, when the country’s international position was permanently changed by the global financial crisis and the unilateral declaration of independence by Serbia’s former province Kosovo. Vuksanovic also shows the domestic dynamic, shaping this policy, primarily the competition between Serbian political parties. Since then, this small Balkan country has become a tipping point between two external great powers against each other.
Demonstrating how this, and other major international developments have affected the country’s stance towards these great powers, including the Russian annexation of Crimea, Brexit, the migrant crisis, the rise and fall of Donald Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic and the on-going war in Ukraine, Vuksanovic reveals how Serbia has placed itself at the centre of a deeply opportunistic and precariously balanced partnership, which impacts both its domestic and international policy in a multitude of ways.

Designing Retail Experience in the 21st Century
Authors: Huppatz D. J. 
Published: February 2025

Covering 2001 to today,Designing Retail Experience in the 21st Centurypresents readers with a critical, cross-disciplinary perspective on retail design, bringing together scholarship from design, architecture, branding, cultural studies and social studies.
Our retail experience has changed profoundly over the past two decades, largely due to the impact of digital technologies. While the rise of smartphones and online commerce threatened to displace ‘bricks and mortar’ stores, physical shopping has survived and, in some cases, thrived. Today, the most successful brands design experiences that engage customers both within the physical store and in the digital realm. In this book, D.J. Huppatz analyses how corporations design these experiences, how we interact with them, and how they align with broader social, cultural and economic changes.
Eight case studies reveal how some of the largest global retail chains, including Apple, Amazon, Nike, Zara, IKEA and LEGO, and smaller chains such as Aesop and Gentle Monster, utilize design to create engaging experiences. Unlike in the past, such corporations consider design in a continuum that extends from architecture and interiors to product and service design, and from website and digital interactions to social media. At the intersection of design and cultural studies, this book provides a critical survey and understanding of design and retail experience in the 21st century.
Education and Historical Justice
Authors: Miles James , Keynes Matthew R. 
Published: February 2025

Education and Historical Justiceexplores how global movements for historical redress and reconciliation are reshaping education and schooling.
This book is the first to theorize the important and growing nexus between education and historical justice engaging questions of temporality, narrativity and responsibility. It considers how educational policy, curriculum, pedagogy, and materials are being reformed to address goals of historical justice, redress and reparations globally, with a focus on Australia, Canada, Northern Ireland and South Africa. It places these changes and challenges in historical context drawing on international human rights law, political and historical theory, and histories of education, to account for the growing role of education in the pursuit of historical justice. Finally, it assesses how education oriented towards historical justice reconfigures subjectivities and raises questions around complicity, guilt, and collective responsibility which have important implications for educators, researchers, and policymakers.
Shakespeare’s Compassion
Authors: Refskou Anne Sophie 
Published: February 2025

This bookshows that Shakespeare’s dramatization of compassion, far from expressing a sense of universal empathy, stages a conflicted emotion available to be solicited, manipulated and at times even monopolized as a discursive vehicle for the exclusion of others.
Drawing on the history of emotions and on Shakespearean classical studies, Anne Sophie Refskou argues both that Shakespeare’s compassion expresses his own historical and cultural moment and is at the same time the product of his close engagement with literature from the classical past. In so doing, she traces a set of recurrent strands in Shakespeare’s engagement with discourses of compassion throughout his playwriting career, situating them in relation to plays written for the early modern stage by contemporaries, including Thomas Kyd, George Peele, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Nashe, John Fletcher and Philip Massinger. Individual chapters offer readings ofTitus Andronicus,Richard III,HamletandKing Learby way of comparative analysis of key classical texts – including Euripides’HecubaandThe Trojan Women, Vergil’sAeneidand Ovid’sMetamorphoses– from which Shakespeare and his fellow playwrights drew sustained inspiration.
Together, the chapters demonstrate how Shakespeare’s engagement with the classical literature, from which he inherited a spacious understanding of the social efficacy of emotion, enables his dramatization of issues that are central to the current critical field, including questions of race, gender, sexuality and the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals.
Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterranean
Authors: Hill James 
Published: February 2025

An exploration of how popes attempted to construct, maintain, and represent their power beyond Europe’s eastern frontiers during the Avignon period of the 14th century.After the main, numbered, crusades concluded with the loss of the Holy Land at the end of the 13th century, the papacy did not withdraw from or scale back its interests and activities in the Eastern Mediterranean. As the papacy moved to Avignon in 1305, in part to be nearer the increasingly troublesome Western and Northern European kingdoms, it maintained strong ties with the East and claimed control over a wide range of activities in the Eastern Mediterranean. This book, based primarily on the letters sent by the popes in the Vatican Archives, explores the power and authority of the popes in their attempts at influencing events in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 14th century.
The Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterraneanexplores a wide set of circumstances and situations, taking into account efforts to control Latin activity beyond Europe, how the popes interacted with and attempted to control non-Latin Churches, and how the popes acted as a Europe-wide political body in diplomatic activities with the Mamluks and the Mongols. James Hill looks at how, in its dealings with the wider world, the papacy continuously encountered the same issue: its position as head of the Church gave it significant authority, but it was often unable to compel actions it wanted. Hill expertly charts how the popes attempted to use their authority to achieve concrete results, and the extent to which those attempts were successful.
Operation Steinbock 1944
Authors: Goss Chris 
Published: February 2025

The story of Germany's disastrous last cross-Channel Blitz in early 1944, which left the Luftwaffe devastated and barely able to oppose the D-Day landings.
OperationSteinbock, or as it became known, the ‘Baby Blitz’ was the Luftwaffe’s last sustained night bomber offensive against the United Kingdom. In this book, renowned Luftwaffe historian Chris Goss explains how and why the Luftwaffe's last cross-Channel campaign was such a contrast to the Battle of Britain and subsequent Blitz of 1940–41. In 1944, the Luftwaffe’s under-trained, hard-pressed, and inexperienced bomber crews were out-thought and outfought by their opponents, who combined the latest ground-controlled radar with powerful new night fighters and advanced anti-aircraft defences, including radar-assisted guns and even anti-aircraft rockets.
Packed with dramatic original illustrations, explanatory diagrams, 2D maps of the strategic situation and 3D maps recreating key missions, this book tells the story of OperationSteinbockand its crucial consequences. The Germans' last air campaign over England ended in late May 1944, with the Luftwaffe having lost hundreds of much-needed aircraft and crews. Just days later, the Allies stormed ashore across the beaches of Normandy, and the Luftwaffe could do little to stop them.
Hürtgen Forest 1944 (1)
Authors: McNally Michael 
Published: February 2025

The first part of a detailed study of one of the longest, and most brutal, tactical operations of World War II.
In September 1944, the Allied High Command continued to press eastwards towards the Rhine, the thrust being spearheaded by Courtney Hodges' US First Army, whose proposed line of advance was through a wooded area south of Aachen, known locally as the Hürtgenwald – or Hürtgen Forest. On the opposing side, the German forces under the overall command of Walter Model would do all they could to defend the Reich, but also maintain a staging post for the forthcoming Battle of the Bulge.
Fought in brutal terrain – heavily wooded, riven with razor sharp ridgelines and precipitous cliffs, and with a woefully inadequate road network – and in all elements, the Battle of Hürtgen Forest was a grinding and protracted encounter where gains were measured in feet and yards and not miles. This study explores the first phase of this bloody battle, including the ‘Aachen Question’ facing the Allies. Featuring stunning artwork, detailed maps and diagrams, and period images, this book provides a gripping narrative of the infamous clash in the Hürtgen Forest, concluding with an assessment of the situation in November 1944, and the preparations for the next phase of operations.
Ground Forces in the Korean War 1950–53 (2)
Authors: Mackowiak Robert C. 
Published: February 2025

This study of the evolving uniforms and personal equipment used by US ground forces in the Korean War features new full-color artwork and previously unpublished photographs.
In June 1950, US soldiers and Marines deployed in the Korean War were dressed and equipped largely as they had been in the closing stages of World War II, but by 1953 major innovations had transformed their appearance. Featuring eight pages of specially commissioned artwork alongside carefully chosen photographs, some never previously published, this study charts the evolution of the US troops’ uniforms and gear through three years of bitter fighting.
The deployment of a US expeditionary force in Korea entailed uniform and equipment shortages and resulted in widespread improvisation among the troops. The rapid movement of the first stages of the conflict made resupply very difficult, a situation compounded by the need for cold-weather clothing. In 1951, the beginnings of position warfare offered the opportunity for soldiers and Marines to customize their uniforms and gear. Flak jackets were introduced in both services. The infantryman’s basic load lightened substantially, with men on the line often requiring little more than their fatigues, flak vest, and helmet. All of these developments are explained and depicted in this fully illustrated study from an authority of the uniforms and personal gear of the Korean War period.
