Fulfillment
You load your virtual shopping cart, hand over your credit card information, and two short days later, a package appears on your doorstep. What sort of magic is this? Dark magic, according to Paul Juhasz' account of his time spent working for the world's biggest retailer.

Sport, Difference and Belonging
This book combines historical and ethnographic components in examining the ideas about human variation subscribed to by coaches, commentators and sportspeople themselves.

Representing Religious Pluralization in Early Modern Europe

Reflecting, driving, shaping and subverting religious systems, representation becomes a divisive force in Reformation Europe as religious pluralization erupts in a contest over how to conceive, to symbolize and to perform religious belief. The essays in this book offer a broad range of perspectives on the pluralizing effects of cultural representation as well as on the various attempts at containing them.
