Spirituality: An Interdisciplinary View
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Even though spirituality can be considered as an innate human potential, one which all are capable of experiencing and developing, it has proven quite difficult to define among scholars. This volume presents various takes and uses of spirituality, looking into describing what it means, together with considering applications of spirituality as a healing measure and practice. Also, spirituality’s presence in the world around us in the form of nature mandalas and world soul is presented in this volume. As well as, spiritual aspects of literary pieces, with rich analysis of story lines and characters, tied back to spiritual parallelism and connotations. This volume represents an interdisciplinary view on spirituality and the various uses this ephemeral term has in different fields of scholarship; it represents a synopsis of the current interesting views scholars, researchers, and practitioners have on spirituality and maters of the spiritual realm.

Twenty20 and the Future of Cricket
Cricket is a sport which is currently undergoing a rapid and dramatic transformation. Traditionally thought of as an English summer game, limited in appeal to Britain and its Commonwealth, cricket has, in the past a few years, achieved a global profile. This is largely due to the development of a new TV-friendly format of the game: Twenty20 cricket. Indeed, through the economic and media interests promoting the Indian Premier League (IPL), the world’s richest Twenty20 tournament, cricket has belatedly ‘gone global’. The rapid rise of the IPL underlines that the economic and political characters within cricket are no longer the traditional elites in metropolitan centres but the business...

Where Ideas Go to Die
Ideas die at the hands of journalists. This is the controversial thesis offered by Michael McDevitt in a sweeping examination of anti-intellectualism in American journalism. A murky presence, anti-intellectualism is not acknowledged by reporters and editors. It is not easily measured by scholars, as it entails opportunities not taken, context not provided, ideas not examined. Where Ideas Go to Die will be the first book to document how journalism polices intellect at a time when thoughtful examination of our society's news media is arguably more important than ever.Through analysis of media encounters with dissent since 9/11, McDevitt argues that journalism engages in a form of social contro...
