The result is a portrait of a religious leader who truly is as humble, conciliatory and discreet as he appeared during the first weeks of his pontificate a pope who, in his own words, wishes to govern as an equal among equals.Facing enormous challenges and a crisis of confidence of historic proportions, the future of the Catholic Church will now depend on Leo XIVs skill and ability to act.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham comes the harrowing true story of a Texas father condemned to die for a crime that never happened.John Grisham is known worldwide as the master of the legal thriller, and one of our most popular novelists, but his lifelong passion for justice has also led him to work extensively with The Innocence Project, and inspired him to tell often shocking stories of wrongful convictionsfirst in The Innocent Man, the basis for the Netflix documentary, and most recently in the #1 bestseller Framed, written with Jim McCloskey.Now he turns an unflinching eye to the tragic case of Robert Roberson, a Texas father who has spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit. In Shaken: The Rush to Execute an Innocent Man, he exposes the many failures that led to a blameless mans death sentence, and a justice system more eager for a conviction than the truth. Powerful, urgent, and frequently unimaginable, this is both a riveting legal drama as only John Grisham can tell it, and a searing indictment of our criminal justice system.

An interdisciplinary volume exploring the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy as applied to morality, agency, mental imagery, consciousness, and representation.Neuroscience and Philosophy II, edited by Felipe De Brigard and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, continues the interdisciplinary mission of its predecessor by bringing together new work from alumni of the Summer Seminars in Neuroscience and Philosophy at Duke University. This volume uniquely captures the rapidly growing dialogue between philosophy and neuroscience, offering both innovative content and a collaborative model of interdisciplinary research. Written as a key resource for scholars, students, and professionals, Neuroscience and Philosophy II showcases the next generation of neurophilosophers and their innovative approaches to understanding the deep connections between mind, brain, and behavior.The book features 11 original chapters organized around four major themes: morality; agency and the self; mental imagery and perspective-taking; and foundational concepts in consciousness and representation. Each chapter is coauthored by philosophers and neuroscientists working together to address questions at the intersection of empirical science and philosophical theory. By combining empirical rigor with conceptual clarity, the book addresses both classic and emerging problemsincluding gendered moral judgment, split-brain agency, aphantasia, and the structure of neural representations.

A handbook on trivalent logics and their applications in a systematic and accessible way, for beginners to advanced readers.Trivalent logics, also known as three-valued logics, are systems of logic that incorporate a third truth value besides the values True and False. They made their first appearance around 1910 in the works of the Polish logician Jan ukasiewicz and the American polymath Charles Sanders Peirce.This handbook, edited by Paul Egre and Lorenzo Rossi, is the first of its kind to present trivalent logics in a systematic and accessible way. It is organized in four partsthe first two, intended for a wide readership, explore philosophical foundations with applications, and the latter two, intended for more advanced readers, discuss proof systems and relations of trivalent logics to other logics, including modal logics, fuzzy logics, probability logics, and quantum logics.Trivalent logics have a surprisingly wide range of applications in various domains of interest to philosophy, linguistics, cognitive psychology, and computer science. While these applications concern different phenomenatruth, vagueness, conditional reasoning, presupposition, belief representationthe addition of a third truth value beside True and False is significant for solving problems that would otherwise lead to difficulties and paradoxes in a standard bivalent framework.

A sharp, funny examination of fame in the digital era and what makes our hunger for it equally alluring and embarrassingfrom the podcasters behind Who? WeeklyI Want to Be Famous takes you on a Regal Cinemas rollercoaster pre-show ride through the history of celebrity, then pulls gems of insight and humor from the garbage dump of our strange present. Lindsey and Bobby are not-so-secretly my generations smartest close-readers of the contemporary pop culture paradigm.Jia Tolentino, author of Trick MirrorWhile being photographed in 1966, Warhol reportedly said, Everyone wants to be famous. (To which his photographer Nat Finkelstein responded, Yeah, for about fifteen minutes, Andy.) Warhol was right then, and hes right now. Fifteen minutes be damned, all you need is the driveor desperationand a singular spark. But if youre not careful, youll end up a Who.Who is a Who? In I Want to Be Famous, Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber, the journalists behind the pop culture podcast Who? Weekly, distill celebrity into two categoriesWhos and Themstranscending the snarky, antiquated judgment of the A-listers to D-listers. If you come across an allegedly famous face youve never seen before and are compelled to utter Who?, well, theres your answer. (Can you picture Rita Ora, Ava Max, or Hilaria Baldwin without googling them?) If the subject elicits something along the lines of, Oh, Them, there youve found the opposite (Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise). Its the fundamental binary of fame.And yet, as more Whos spawn, the path to Themdom narrows. Weve entered an era where accessibility to fame is within everyones grasp, though only a select few can crack the algorithm and hold our ever-diminishing attention spans. Celebrities have taken desperate measures to stay relevantfrom the makeup, supplements, and alcohol they peddle to the Notes app apologies they postas the media who cover them compete with celebrities breaking their own news on social media and as PopCrave decides who stuns next.Blending juicy pop culture history with the authors signature wit, I Want to Be Famous argues fame no longer means ubiquity and examines what the future holds for those seeking our collective attention.

The role of religion in war and post-war times has regained central importance in public discourse, particularly in Western countries. After decades of research on religion and peace and especially Christianity and peace public and academic attention has (re)turned to war and violence in the history of religions in general and of Christianity in particular. This collection brings together scholars from theology, history, area and cultural studies to examine the relationships between wars and Christian internationalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The contributions cover case studies from China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, the Middle East, North America, Scandinavia and Southern Africa. The temporal range goes beyond the narrow focus of the First World War and includes wars between non-Western countries and colonial wars. Many chapters open the topic up to non-Western perspectives and enlarge our understanding of the role of the young ecumenical movement in war and post-war times and, beyond that, they demonstrate how in the wars of a century ago Christians tried to negotiate between internationalist and nationalist views and to deal with and overcome wartime disruptions.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
