  Shinto, often referred to as "the way of the gods," is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition, rich in rituals, beliefs, and practices that have evolved over centuries. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto does not have a single founder or a unified doctrine; instead, it is a diverse amalgamation of ancient animistic beliefs, reverence for nature, and deep respect for ancestral spirits. This uniqueness allows Shinto to seamlessly blend with other spiritual practices, particularly Buddhism, which has coexisted with it for over a millennium. 
  At the heart of Shinto is the concept of kami, the spirits or deities that inhabit all aspects of the natural world. These kami are not limited to grand gods; they can also include the spirits of mountains, rivers, trees, and even objects. This belief fosters a profound connection between individuals and their environment, promoting an ethos of harmony and respect for nature. Rituals and practices in Shinto are designed to honor these kami, ensuring their favor and maintaining the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. 
  Throughout Japan’s history, Shinto has played a significant role in shaping cultural identity, national consciousness, and social customs. The tradition has influenced art, literature, and festivals, providing a lens through which to understand the values and beliefs of the Japanese people. From the serene beauty of shrine architecture to the vibrant celebrations of seasonal festivals, Shinto permeates daily life and cultural expression. 
  In this book, we will explore the historical development of Shinto, its core beliefs and practices, the significance of kami and rituals, and the interplay between Shinto and other religious traditions.

  Translated from the original Arabic into English, provides a vivid insight into the moral conduct of the early Muslims in a society led by the perfect character of the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh ('I was only sent to perfect good character.) The Prophet's Companions represent excellent examples of men of vigorous moral stature whose conduct inspired and attracted the masses to the fold of Islam wherever they went during the expansion of Muslim territories, and contrary to the stereotypic portrayal, in the West, of Islam as being spread by the sword. The Prophet's words are as relevant today as they were fourteen hundred years ago. This unique collection of 1322 ahadith and athar is one of the earliest and most authentic works on Islamic etiquette and the Islamic way of life. Not only are they practical and inspiring, they also fulfil a desperate need for authoritative guide on morality and spirituality for Muslims living in a modern, secular society, where the line between right and wrong is increasingly blurred. This book is an essential cornerstone of Islamic morality and is suitable for the general reader and the academic alike. Its author, Imam Bukhari (194-256AH / 810 - 870 CE) is the most celebrated figure in Islamic literary history. "Al-Adab Al-Mufrad" is an absolutely essential addition to every Islamic library.

  How indolent practices in Latinx LGBTQ culture challenge capitalist imperatives to be productive. 
   
   
   
  Revolting Indolence makes a case for laziness as an aesthetic-political strategy for countering the oppressive logics of cisheteronormative racial capitalism. Focusing on ways in which queer and trans Latinx people demonstrate the unwillingness of their participation in "productivist" ethics and allied respectability politics, Marcos Gonsalez argues that slacking off, lounging, daydreaming, and partying are liberatory practices. 
   
   
   
  Gonsalez explores how queer and trans Latinx artists refute discourses in which work is a moral good. In Paris Is Burning, RuPaul's Drag Race, documentary photography of queer and trans Latinx life in Los Angeles, and other sources, Gonsalez identifies two lazy styles: first, flagrant refusals of work that critique capitalist reason; and second, the invention of alternative aesthetic worlds beyond racial capitalism and violence targeting queer and trans people, whose rejection of the cisgender nuclear family paradigm is rightly seen as threatening the stability of a functioning capitalist system. Reclaiming laziness as a resource for radical imagining, Revolting Indolence asks us to do that which we want most and which capitalist exploitation can least tolerate: to slow down.

  While the Western was dying a slow death across the cultural landscape, it was blazing back to life as a video game in the early twenty-first century. Rockstar Games' Red Dead franchise, beginning with Red Dead Revolver in 2004, has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. Red Dead Redemption: History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on game studies, western history, American studies, and cultural studies, the authors train a wide-ranging, deeply informed analytic perspective on the Red Dead franchise—from its earliest incarnation to the latest, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Their intersecting chapters put the series in the context of American history, culture, and contemporary media, with inquiries into issues of authenticity, realism, the meaning of play and commercial promotion, and the relationship between the game and the wider cultural iterations of the classic Western. The contributors also delve into the role the series' development has played in recent debates around working conditions in the gaming industry and gaming culture.
