Religious conflict is a fact of life in the twenty-first century no less than it was in the medieval world. And yet the world of the Crusades is so different from ours that it takes a massive leap of imagination to make sense of these events. This book takes on that challenge: opening a window onto the 12th and 13th century worlds to understand what on earth was going on. It examines the Crusades themselves; the controversies surrounding them; and the past and current re-interpretations of the period.

As a conflict it was drawn out and deadly, but in the history of the 20th century its significance goes well beyond those jungle encounters that have been represented in so many feature films. The Vietnam War was also a watershed event in the story of American foreign policy and their attempt to contain Communism. This book examines how and why the Americans got so involved in Vietnam and with what consequences. It also examines its relationship to the Korean War and to World War Two; and how the Vietnam experience shaped US foreign policy over the following decades and into the present.

Enter Title Here
by Rahul KanakiaI'm your protagonist-Reshma Kapoor-and if you have the free time to read this book, then you're probably nothing like me. Reshma is a college counselor's dream. She's the top-ranked senior at her ultra-competitive Silicon Valley high school, with a spotless academic record and a long roster of extracurriculars. But there are plenty of perfect students in the country, and if Reshma wants to get into Stanford, and into med school after that, she needs the hook to beat them all. What's a habitual over-achiever to do? Land herself a literary agent, of course. Which is exactly what Reshma does after agent Linda Montrose spots an article she wrote for Huffington Post. Linda wants to represent Reshma, and, with her new agent's help scoring a book deal, Reshma knows she'll finally have the key to Stanford. But she's convinced no one would want to read a novel about a study machine like her. To make herself a more relatable protagonist, she must start doing all the regular American girl stuff she normally ignores. For starters, she has to make a friend, then get a boyfriend. And she's already planned the perfect ending: after struggling for three hundred pages with her own perfectionism, Reshma will learn that meaningful relationships can be more important than success-a character arc librarians and critics alike will enjoy. Of course, even with a mastermind like Reshma in charge, things can't always go as planned. And when the valedictorian spot begins to slip from her grasp, she'll have to decide just how far she'll go for that satisfying ending. (Note: It's pretty far.) In this wholly unique, wickedly funny debut novel, Rahul Kanakia consciously uses the rules of storytelling-and then breaks them to pieces.

Entre le Savoir et le Culte: Activisme et mouvements religieux dans les universités du Sahel
by Leonardo A. Villalón« Entre le Savoir et le Culte présente des études et documents originaux qui mettent à jour l’évolution de l’islam et du christianisme parmi les étudiants d’universités des pays du Sahel. Il révèle les fissures et les conflits entre les groupes, et analyse leurs modes oraux, écrits et vestimentaires d’affichage et de performance. Cet ouvrage apporte ainsi un puissant éclairage sur l’emprise du religieux sur l’élite en formation, et examine les deux interrogations qui alimentent l’activisme religieux universitaire : la signification de la revendication d’une identité musulmane ou chrétienne, et comment celle-ci façonne la modernité des deux religions et vice-versa. A lire pour comprendre le dynamisme des terribles crises qui amènent la région sahélienne à se tourner sur elle-même. » – Mamadou Diouf, Leitner Family Professor of African Studies, Columbia University, États-Unis. « Quelquefois négligées ou mal comprises par les analystes étrangers, les universités sahéliennes sont le théâtre de débats profonds sur l’identité nationale, et d’importantes négociations autour de la religiosité et de l’ethnicité. Cette collection rassemble les travaux d’éminents spécialistes dans ce domaine, et propose une perspective riche et comparative de leur travail collectif, ancrée dans leur recherche sur le terrain. L’ouvrage sera indispensable à tous les chercheurs, analystes, et décideurs politiques qui travaillent sur le Sahel. Ces chapitres contribueront beaucoup à la compréhension des expériences et priorités d’une génération d’activistes et de leaders qui marqueront la région dans les années à venir. » – Alex Thurston, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Université de Cincinnati, États-Unis

Environmental Economics
by Alfred Endres Iain L. FraserThis intermediate-level undergraduate textbook in environmental economics builds on the microeconomics courses students take in their first year.

Moreover, topics from daily policy debates such as global warming are put into economic perspective.
