When the heroes of Flight 93 smashed their hijackers into the ground at the cost of their own lives, it was America's first post-9/11 moment. Knowing that thousands had died at the WTC, the passengers refused to let the killers on board determine their de
The World Ahead
Carey's world has brought much love and happiness; as well as plenty of bitterness and betrayal. Would drugs, sex and disease be the downfall of it all? Could the spirit really lead someone to true love as they say it can? When asked 'what, why or how' you did something, a person's response is simply; I was led by the spirit! What do you think? True enough, love may be in the air, but there are many other devious things brewing just as well. You should

Brexit and Beyond
Brexit will have significant consequences for the country, for Europe, and for global order. And yet much discussion of Brexit in the UK has focused on the causes of the vote and on its consequences for the future of British politics. This volume examines the consequences of Brexit for the future of Europe and the European Union, adopting an explicitly regional and future-oriented perspective missing from many existing analyses.

Studying Contemporary Western Society
Few anthropologists today realize the pioneering role Margaret Mead played in the investigation of contemporary cultures. This volume collects and presents a variety of her essays on research methodology relating to contemporary culture. Many of these essays were printed originally in limited circulation journals, research reports and books edited by others. They reflect Mead's continuing commitment to searching out methods for studying and extending the anthropologist's tools of investigation for use in complex societies. Essays on American and European societies, intergenerational relations, architecture and social space, industrialization, and interracial relations are included in this varied and exciting collection.
Conceptualizing Religion
How might we transform a folk category - in this case religion - into a analytical category suitable for cross-cultural research? In this volume, the author addresses that question. He critically explores various approaches to the problem of conceptualizing religion, particularly with respect to certain disciplinary interests of anthropologists. He argues that the concept of family resemblances, as that concept has been refined and extended in prototype theory in the contemporary cognitive sciences, is the most plausible analytical strategy for resolving the central problem of the book. In the solution proposed, religion is conceptualized as an affair of "more or less" rather than a matter of "yes or no," and no sharp line is drawn between religion and non-religion.
