Metamorphoses of Religion and Spirituality in Central and Eastern Europe
This book offers a range of contemporary sociological reflections on new manifestations of religion, religiosity, and spirituality in Central and Eastern Europe, a region that has seen significant social and political transformation. It explores the development of cultural and religious trends, including secularisation, new spiritualit,y and a resurgence of religiosity outside of traditional structures. The theoretical and empirical contributions by established and emerging scholars address topics including: the experiences and values of young people, the role and influence of media, the relationship between public and private religion, and the position of state and institutions. The book will be of particular interest to sociologists of religion and others focused on contemporary Central and Eastern European societies.
Polscy wiccanie
Monografia Polscy wiccanie. Studium religii przeżywanej stanowi portret członków pewnej społeczności sporządzony na podstawie kilkuletnich badań terenowych. Joanna Malita-Król, kierując się dyrektywą metodologiczną religii przeżywanej, pokazuje, jak wicca jako religia wydarza się w życiu jej rozmówców. Opisuje, czym są dla nich rytuały, jak rozumieją pełnione przez siebie funkcje oraz jakie konsekwencje miała dla nich inicjacja do wybranego kowenu (zgromadzenia czarownic). Autorka analizuje także narracje konwersyjne polskich wiccan i udowadnia, że w kraju nawet nie tyle sekularyzującym się, ile coraz bardziej „odkościelniającym” żyją ludzie poszukujący misterium, którego nie znaleźli w Kościele katolickim. Książka Polscy wiccanie stanowi ciekawe i bardzo rzetelne opracowanie poświęcone współczesnej wicca (tradycyjnej), a w szczególności charakterystyce środowiska jej polskich wyznawców. W Polsce ukazało się niewiele opracowań dotyczących wicca, więc propozycja Joanny Mality-Król będzie cennym uzupełnieniem. [… ] To wciągająca i dobrze napisana lektura. Z recenzji dr hab. Marty Zimniak-Hałajko

Behema = zwierzę
W odróżnieniu od wielu innych prac, "Behema = zwierzę" opiera się na solidnych fundamentach źródłowych. Zdecydowana większość z dziesiątek przypisów zawiera cytaty, które nie tylko wspierają główny wywód, ale także pozostają z nim w ścisłym związku.

Wicca
To me, Wicca will always be about experiencing the earth, working with what you can find and practising the craft for its true meaning. It promotes equality in all and has brought me many benefits: acceptance, kindness and self-love. Harmony Nice is at the heart of a growing community of modern-day wiccans who practise natural magic to improve their own lives and the world around them. In Wicca she encourages you to explore the positive impact that ritual, meditation and embracing nature can have on your creativity, confidence and sense of self-worth. Discover how to cast spells, start your own Book of Shadows, join a coven and feel empowered to follow a path that feels good and true to you.
The Life Death Drives
This book proposes that the life drive and the death drive are rooted in transcendence, whereas immanent critique requires conscious desiring to produce new modes of being and thinking as yet not conceivable from within the dominant model of projection-introjection mechanism based on identification. Cengiz Erdem argues that the life drive and the death drive, each divided within itself, constitute the two sides of a single projection-introjection mechanism. Erdem attempts at an affirmative recreation of the concepts of life drive and death drive in the way of turning these concepts from forms of knowledge to modes of being and thinking. As modes of being and thinking life/death drives emerge as the two components of a dynamic and mobile critical apparatus born of and giving birth to a fragile contact between immanence and transcendence, as well as between affirmation and negation.
Science and Truth

Rathmines Road
Will truth out? Set over one evening, Rathmines Road by Deirdre Kinahan is a play that rages in a tiny room. Fraught, funny and ferocious, it testifies to the pain of carrying the memory of sexual assault throughout a lifetime. A play about secret trauma and public revelation, Rathmines Road bristles with tension and interrogates catharsis to ask: when and how do we take responsibility? The play premiered at the Abbey Theatre as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival 2018, previewing at the Civic Theatre, Tallaght, in a co-production between Fishamble and the Abbey Theatre.
The Primer of Humor Research
The book is intended to provide a definitive view of the field of humor research for both beginning and established scholars in a variety of fields who are developing an interest in humor and need to familiarize themselves with the available body of knowledge.

There are two primary motivations for the book.
