This volume explores the multiple perceptions of Hellenic antiquity in modern Greece, a central yet contested aspect of modern Greek national identity ever since the foundation of the Greek state in 1830. How did the various disciplines of modern Greek classical scholarship cultivate conceptions of Hellenic antiquity that suited the national narrative of the continuity of Greek history? In what ways did modern Greeks engage with and adapt Western European ideas about ancient Greece? How were the dominant views of Hellenic antiquity reinforced or challenged by alternative perspectives appearing within scholarship, but also in the arts and the public sphere? And how was Hellenic antiquity turned into a commodity that could be consumed and exploited in the tourism industry as well as in Greece's relations with other countries? By bringing together specialists from a wide spectrum of disciplines to address such questions, the volume aims to shed light on the diversity of modern Greek perceptions of ancient Greece and their usages from the 19th to the 21st century.

Ce volume est consacre aux differentes interpretations de l'Antiquite grecque depuis la fondation de l'Etat en 1830 jusqu'a nos jours. Comment les savoirs disciplinaires ont-ils faconne des conceptions de l'Antiquite conformes au recit national? De quelle maniere les Grecs dialoguent-ils avec les savoirs classiques europeens? Quelles lectures alternatives du passe antique, emanant du monde academique, du monde artistique, voire de l'espace public, ont enterine ou, au contraire, remis en question la vision dominante de l'Antiquite elaboree par les historiens grecs du XIXe siecle dans une perspective nationale voire nationaliste?

Multisensory Approaches in Migration Studies rethinks how we understand human mobility by placing the sensing, feeling body at the centre of migration research. Challenging decades of scholarship dominated by textual and state-centred perspectives, this volume reveals how people's multisensory experiences, including smell, touch, sound, and taste, shape migrants' journeys and lives as profoundly as borders, policies, and places do.

Drawing on developments of the 'sensory turn' across anthropology, geography, and sociology, the book demonstrates how embodied memories, sensorial encounters, and everyday multisensory practices can uncover new dimensions of displacement, belonging, and transnational life. The contributors explore diverse contexts from forests at the EU's eastern frontier to migrant kitchens, urban streets, digital platforms, and cross-border commutes. This collection illustrates how sensory approaches mediate both the intimate, lived textures of migration and the structural forces that impact migrating people. By reconnecting the body to space, time, and movement, it offers an innovative lens for scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to understand migration beyond conventional frameworks.

The book is essential reading for migration researchers, anthropologists, geographers, and anyone interested in embodied approaches to understanding human mobility in contemporary society. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

A fascinating exploration of religious belief as the key to understanding ourselves and other people, societies, and cultures

When we explore the problem of God, we are exploring issues that force us to dig down into the very foundation of who we are, why we are who we are, and why we believe what we believe. Does God exist? What do we mean by "God"? Why believe?

The Problem of God explores the challenges of religious belief and spirituality through the lenses of both historical and contemporary sources from religious traditions around the globe, including the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Confucian, and Daoist traditions. This book engages with the fundamental concerns of belief in God, including the existence of God, the nature of God, different forms of theism and alternatives to theism, warranted belief, and the challenges posed by the problem of evil, pain and suffering, modern science, atheism, and religious pluralism. Cline invites readers to consider different religious beliefs through compelling stories that foster an understanding of human actions and motivations throughout history.

The curious and the spiritually hungry will benefit from discovering that there is not one problem of God but many, and that understanding the spiritual dimension of human life holds the key to better understanding ourselves and one another.

Drawing from teachings and practices of diverse and distinct religious traditions, this volume takes a unique approach to exploring spiritual aspects of child development which may apply universally to children of all backgrounds. Research with children demonstrates how spirituality is a universal trait, an innate aspect of humanity, which may be and indeed often is nurtured within religious traditions. Though spirituality is not inherently religious in nature, its connection to religion has proven near impossible for scholars to sever. Nonetheless, spirituality is an integral aspect of human development with universal relevance. Child spirituality has been linked to aspects of well-being including prosocial coping skills, avoidance of risky behaviours, confidence-building, forging of meaningful affective ties, development of generosity, mental health and psychosocial well-being. While each chapter brings a unique religious perspective, it offers insight, case studies and practical applications that help nurture children's development regardless of the child's own religious tradition - in other words, the starting point is religion but the ending point is a shared vision for the well-being of children. With contributions from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Ghana, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the UK, Australia, Canada and the USA, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of religion, theology, development studies and humanitarian studies.

Drawing on research gathered from North America, Scandinavia, Western Europe, South Africa, China and the UK, this book arises out of an immersion in fire-craft and is inspired by kindling as a guiding imagination for a re-evaluation and re-articulation of educational purpose. Chapters combine insights gleaned from post-kindling sessions as well as from autoethnographic material, providing a lens for a deep enquiry into what fire-lighting "kindles" for questions of educational purpose and praxis. The book challenges assumptions regarding the purpose of education and prevailing perspectives on why and how students are educated, drawing theoretical considerations out of, and in relation to, an embodied educational activity.

Are female food safety inspectors treated differently than men? What do women contribute to the creation and implementation of public policy in the United States? The editors of and contributors to Women in Regulation, all experts in public policy and public administration, analyze the role women (and stakeholders) play in bureaucracies in environmental, budgetary, and other sectors of the U.S. federal, state, and local governments, plus relevant examples from around the world.

Women in Regulation examines the impact of regulatory policy delegation, as well as the actors and processes involved in administrative rulemaking, compliance, and implementation. The book considers representative bureaucracy, organizational stereotypes, emotional labor, and advancement barriers to argue why studying women and regulation is of value. Regulatory case studies focus on topics ranging from water and energy to executive leadership. Chapters also include reflective exercises and prompts for classroom engagement that challenge readers to consider implications for regulatory policy in the future.

Amplifying the underheard voices in policy and implementation, Women in Regulation provides a more holistic picture of regulatory practices.

Provides comprehensive guidance on harnessing artificial intelligence for neuroscience research and clinical applications

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for advancing the study of the brain. While recent scholarship has focused on how neuroscience can inform the design of AI systems, there is a growing need for resources that demonstrate how AI can be applied to support neuroscience research and practice. Artificial Intelligence in Neuroscience offers a detailed introduction to AI technologies and their transformative potential for fields ranging from neuroimaging and genetics to mental healthcare and neuro-oncology.

Structured around four major areas, the book begins by exploring the shared history of AI and neuroscience, from single-neuron modeling and action potentials to contemporary learning mechanisms. It then examines how AI can be used as a data analysis tool in genetics, proteomics, histology, cognition, and population health, before turning to clinical applications such as biologically plausible cognitive models, connectionist frameworks, and reinforcement learning. Additional chapters consider emerging applications, including robotics, drug screening, brain-computer interfaces, and language models. The volume concludes with a critical discussion of ethical and privacy issues, ensuring readers are equipped to navigate the responsibilities that accompany technological innovation.

Wide in scope and filled with practical insights, Artificial Intelligence in Neuroscience:

A comprehensive resource on the nature and value of African religious life

Portrayals of African spirituality have been tainted in the past by harmful stereotypes and negative judgments or have altogether ignored African religions. Very few scholarly works have encompassed the depth of how spiritual care is conceptualized and practiced in African and African diasporic communities.

Spiritual Care in African Religious Cultures offers insights into the nature and value of African religious life while also giving persons of different religious persuasions information about African beliefs and practices. This book reveals how practitioners of African traditional religions and people who engage in African spirituality draw on their own spiritual traditions to help them live satisfying and productive lives. Lartey addresses key beliefs about the divine realm, ancestors, evil, health, death, and life, as well as practices such as ceremonies, manifestation of spirit, naming, and healing rites inherent in African and African Heritage religions, which are utilized in providing care for persons amid the challenges of living. He invites us to go beyond maligning and misrepresenting African religions and to enter into the therapeutic and life-giving realities of African life and thought.

Spiritual Care in African Religious Cultures is a comprehensive resource on African understandings of spiritual care and has the potential to enhance communal relationships for multicultural communities.

Exploring a wide range of written discourse on early modern brewing and the material features and practices contributing to those conversations, this book demonstrates the considerable role that discussions of drink played in defining the boundaries of human life and action in England and beyond.

The social meaning of drink was an ever-contested cultural site in the early modern Atlantic. From complaints about watered-down ale to suspicions around ingredients and imported foreign wines to the moral blame assigned to alehouses and inns for drunkenness and raucous behavior, early modern writers saw the fermentation process as just one of many sites in which drink signified change. Discussing beer and brewing meant defining the limits of human rationality, markers of individual and collective identity, and the nature of responsibility. This book's interdisciplinary approach draws upon texts as varied as brewing manuals, manuscript receipt books, plays, broadside ballads, and joke books to show the two-way conversation between these complex cultural works and the materiality of fermented drink as a cultural artifact.

This book will be useful for graduate students and scholars of early modern English literature and early American literature, food studies, food history, and material culture.
