Liberal Studies at the Centre for the Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning Universiti Malaysia Sabah
This book presents a collection of cross-discipline articles that serves to close the documentation gap in liberal arts.

This publication offers resources for academicians and researchers from various fields related to liberal arts. Although the articles were based on scientific and academic writing with specific concepts and epistemological thoughts, they also contain global and general knowledge concepts which may be appreciated and considered appropriate for public or general reading.
The Routledge Companion to Humanism and Literature
The Routledge Companion to Humanism and Literature provides readers with a comprehensive reassessment of the value of humanism in an intellectual landscape. Offering contributions by leading international scholars, this volume seeks to define literature as a core expressive form and an essential constitutive element of newly reformulated understandings of humanism. While the value of humanism has recently been dominated by anti-humanist and post-humanist perspectives which focused on the flaws and exclusions of previous definitions of humanism, this volume examines the human problems, dilemmas, fears, and aspirations expressed in literature, as a fundamentally humanist art form and activity....

Food
"Food: The Key Concepts presents an exciting, coherent and interdisciplinary introduction to food studies for the beginning reader. Food Studies is an increasingly complex field, drawing on disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology and Cultural Studies at one end and Economics, Politics and Agricultural Science at the other. In order to clarify the issues, Food: The Key Concepts distills food choices down to three competing considerations: consumer identity; matters of convenience and price; and an awareness of the consequences of what is consumed. The book concludes with an examination of two very different future scenarios for feeding the world's population: the technological fix, which looks to science to provide the solution to our future food needs; and the anthropological fix, which hopes to change our expectations and behaviors. Throughout, the analysis is illustrated with lively case studies. Bulleted chapter summaries, questions and guides to further reading are also provided."--P. [4] of cover.

In this astonishing exposé of the political and cultural forces now pressing Palestinian women into martyrdom, investig...
