This collection considers how religious identity interplays with other forms and contexts of identity, specifically those related to sexual identity. It asks how these intersections are formed, negotiated and resisted across time and places, including the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, and the Global South. Questions around ‘queer’ engagements in same-sex marriages, civil partnerships and other practices (e.g. adoption) have created a number of provoking stances and policy provisions – but what remains unanswered is how people experience and situate themselves within sometimes competing, or ‘contradictory’, moments as ‘religious queers’ who may be tasked with ‘queering...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2013, held in Firenze, Italy, in June 2013, within the 8th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques (DisCoTec 2013). The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics including coordination of social collaboration processes, coordination of mobile systems in peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks, programming and reasoning about distributed and concurrent software, types, contracts, synchronization, coordination patterns, and families of distributed systems.
Upon his return from India, Alexander the Great travelled to the Persian royal city of Pasargadae to pay homage at the tomb of King Cyrus, founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, whom he admired greatly. Disgusted to find Cyrus’ tomb desecrated and looted, the Macedonian king had the tomb guards tortured, the Persian provincial governor executed and the tomb refurbished. This episode involving Cyrus’ tomb serves as one of many case studies in Alexander’s relationship with Persia. At times Alexander would behave pragmatically, sparing his defeated enemies and adopting Persian customs. Sisygambis, the mother of Persian King Darius III, allegedly came to view Alexander as a son and starved herself at the news of his demise. On other occasions he did not shy away from destruction (famously torching the palace at Persepolis) and cruelty, earning himself the nickname ‘the accursed’. This conflicting nature gives Alexander a complex legacy in the Persian world. Joseph Stiles explores Alexander the Great’s fascinating relationship with his ‘spear-won’ empire, disentangling the motives and influences behind his policies and actions as ‘King of Asia’.

Bir Brüksel Polisiyesi: İki cinayet ve beş yılı bulan soruşturma Şubat ayında bir sabah, Brüksel’de parçalanmış iki ceset bulunur. Otoparkta bulunan ceset evsiz bir adama, diğeri ise zengin bir bölgede yaşayan başka bir adama aittir. Komiser olay yerine gelir. Yanında soruşturmayı takip etmeye yetkili bir gazeteci de vardır.
