'The American Project' is a unique novel that offers a rare insight into the world of pressurised team design, with all the humour, excitement and tension that accompanies designing and constructing multi-million-pound fast track landmark buildings.Architect Josh Wainman is promoted to lead a huge project for an American bank that his practice has just won in a major competition. The site turns out to be a horror story of difficulties. The technical problems are daunting; the project requires the excavation of the largest basement ever in London... but it's next to the Thames, the tube line and preserved neighbouring buildings. As well as this, he has to work with a hostile colleague intent on making Josh's life difficult - and the client is never satisfied. Is this new project a promotion or a poisoned chalice? Josh wonders.

The prominence of religion in recent debates around politics, identity formation, and international terrorism has led to an increased demand on those studying religion to help clarify and contextualise religious belief and practice in the public sphere. While many texts focus on the theoretical development of the subject, this book outlines a wider application of these studies by exploring the role of religious studies scholars and theologians as public intellectuals. This collection of essays first seeks to define exactly what makes an intellectual "public". It then goes on to deal with a few questions of concern: How do public intellectuals construct knowledge in religious and theological scholarship? What is the link between public intellectuals of higher education and their role in society? Do higher education institutions have a responsibility to endorse public intellectualism? Looking at the individual and collective role of religious studies scholars and theologians in public life, this book will be of great interest to all scholars and academics involved in religious studies and theology across the academy.
