    In this deeply personal study, Hammad illuminates an agenda of place, meaning and resistance in territorial struggles through the telling of a less-heard story of how residents of Bil'in understand their world and their lives in the occupied Palestinian West Bank landscape. Taking a case study of a contested and divided Palestinian village situated in the heart of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and known for its sustained, nonviolent protest against the separation wall that cuts through its lived spaces, Hammad examines how villagers live, experience, interpret, and attempt to resist infringements on their property and person. 
    The study considers the spectrum of ways that people resist in this context, examining not only the overt weekly protests but also the everyday acts and subjectivities of resistance of its residents, young and old. The backdrop of the protracted Palestinian-Israel conflict and Palestinians' struggle over space, place, and history- which continues to play out in the present- makes this book politically relevant and empowering as it brings voices from a secluded contested village the world.

    Discover how to responsibly defend religious freedom for all without compromising your personal beliefs. 
    Religious freedom is a bitterly contested issue that spills over into political, public, and online spheres. It's an issue that's becoming ever more heated, and neither of the global political polarities is interested in protecting it. While the political left is openly hostile toward traditional religion, the political right seeks to weaponize it. 
    How can we ensure that "religious freedom" is truly about freedom of one's religion rather than serving an ethno-nationalist agenda? 
    In Religious Freedom in a Secular Age, Michael Bird (New Testament scholar and author of Evangelical Theology) has four main goals:To explain the true nature of secularism and help us to see it as one of the best ways of promoting liberty and mutual respect in a multifaith world.To dismantle the arguments for limiting religious freedom.To outline a biblical strategy for maintaining a Christian witness in a post-Christian society.To encourage Christians to participate in a new age of apologetics by being prepared to defend not only their own believes but also the freedom of all faiths. 
    While Bird does address the recent political administrations in the US, his focus is global. Bird—who lives in Melbourne, Australia—freely admits to his anxiety of the militant secularism surrounding him, but he also strongly critiques the marriage of national and religious identities that has gained ground in countries like Hungary and Poland. 
    The fact is that religion has a lot to contribute to the common good. Religious Freedom in a Secular Age will challenge readers of all backgrounds and beliefs not only to make room for peaceable difference, but also to find common ground on the values of justice, mercy, and equality.

    A celebration of Nicolas Cage ― the man and the meme Nicolas Cage: leading man or character actor? Action hero or goofball comedian? Internet joke or one of the greatest actors of his generation? Beyond the gif bait and easy punchline, Nicolas Cage continually frustrates easy categorization or understanding. In National Treasure, pop culture writer Lindsay Gibb studies Nicolas Cage’s acting style and makes sense of the trajectory of his eclectic career. In the process, Gibb debunks the common claim that Cage makes bad choices. While his selection of roles is seemingly inscrutable, Cage challenges critics and audiences alike by refusing to be predictable or to conform to the Hollywood approach to acting. Much like one of his mentors, David Lynch, Cage aims for art in movie-making. Is there a method to his madness? Is he in on the joke? In this clear-eyed and well-argued volume of the Pop Classics series, Gibb answers both questions with a resounding hell yes.

    Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
    One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
    In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.
