Flexibility Under Islamic Law
Islamic law proposes inverse connectivity between flexibility and hardship: Flexibility mitigates hardship while rigidity aggravates hardship. In Islamic law, flexibility is the organizing norm of legal intelligence in its manifestations. Generally, hardship restricts personal freedom and impedes human happiness, social harmony, and economic prosperity. In contrast, many benefits radiate from flexibility. Flexibility facilitates the performance of obligations, bending without abandoning the concepts of time and place commitments. Flexibility serves as an accommodation principle for persons with disabilities. By removing hardship, flexibility supports convenience and creativity. Creative minds and creative enterprises seldom thrive in rigid structures; they need fluid and flexible settings. Finally, flexibility endorses a concept of adaptable normativity under which each generation of jurists is free to interpret the founding sources of Islamic law, the Qur'an and Prophet's Sunnah. This Book urges legal systems, Muslims and non-Muslims, to incorporate flexibility as the supreme principle of legal intelligence manifested in legislation, adjudication, and law enforcement.

Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid
An Entrepreneur Best Book of the Year Facebook makes us lonely. Selfies breed narcissism. On Twitter, hostility reigns. Pundits and psychologists warn that digital technologies substantially alter our emotional states, but in this lively investigation of changing feelings about technology, we learn that the gadgets we use don’t just affect how we feel—they can profoundly change our sense of self. When we say we’re bored, we don’t mean the same thing as a Victorian dandy. Could it be that political punditry has helped shape a new kind of anger? Luke Fernandez and Susan Matt take us back in time to consider how our feelings of loneliness, boredom, vanity, and anger have evolved in tandem with new technologies. “Technologies have been shaping [our] emotional culture for more than a century, argue computer scientist Luke Fernandez and historian Susan Matt in this original study. Marshalling archival sources and interviews, they trace how norms (say, around loneliness) have shifted with technological change.” —Nature “A powerful story of how new forms of technology are continually integrated into the human experience.” —Publishers Weekly

Violence
Through a series of penetrating conversations originally published in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Review of Books, Brad Evans and Natasha Lennard talk with a wide range of cutting edge thinkers--including Oliver Stone, Simon Critchley, and Elaine Scarry--to explore the problem of violence in everyday life, politics, culture, media, language, memory, and the environment. "To bring out the best of us," writes Evans, "we have to confront the worst of what humans are capable of doing to one another.
