  Based on the sermon series that garnered top honors from Yale Divinity School, Finding Joy on Death Row is the powerful story of a broken preacher's transformative experience learning about joy from Death Row prisoners, combined with dramatic responses from more than twenty men currently sentenced to die. 
   
   
   
  In Finding Joy on Death Row: Unexpected Lessons from Lives We Discarded, Williams journeys into the hearts and minds of those sentenced to death, illuminating for listeners the ways in which the human spirit can suffer—and soar. Finding Joy on Death Row includes dozens of statements from those facing capital punishment. The testimonies and contemplations of those sentenced to die offer listeners a unique opportunity to hear from individuals whose lives are marked by their looming execution. And yet these prisoners have—in the midst of grim circumstances—managed to find joy. 
   
   
   
  As Williams serves and shepherds these prisoners, their own stories are unveiled. Williams's account of ministering within North Carolina's prison system and the handwritten statements are punctuated by glimpses into the author's own broken past. This important work will show listeners the power of joy to reach us all, the free and imprisoned alike.

  Energy Politics in the Mena...

  The war in Ukraine has highlighted Europe's urgency to diversify its energy supplies and reduce dependence on Russia. While, in such context, energy security has become a top political priority for Europe, energy resources from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have drawn European countries' renewed attention. Boasting abundant oil and gas reserves, the MENA region will likely play a
  leading role in Europe's current energy crisis. While MENA exporters' ability to increase their supply is limited in the short-term, more resources are likely to be available in a longer-term perspective.
  As Europeans are scrambling for alternatives, this Report analyses the different implications for a number of MENA exporters of fossil fuels. As these countries have become even more central to Europe's energy security, assessing their prospects is of paramount importance, including not only their short-term role as suppliers of fossil fuels, but also their opportunity to accelerate along the path of the green
  transition.
  How is the current energy crisis affecting the role of MENA hydrocarbons producers as Europe's energy suppliers? How will Europe's needs in additional resources redefine energy geopolitics in the Middle East and North Africa? Which new prospects for their green transition?

  Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
   
   
   
  In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
   
   
   
  Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
   
   
   
  With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
   
   
   
  With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.
