  • Many of the accounts of argumentation and deliberation available in the literature paint an overly idealized picture of these processes, assuming agents with no cognitive limitations and largely cooperative settings where all participants have a similar social standing and shared goals. This book breaks away from these idealized accounts; it investigates how reason and power interact in argumentative processes by focusing on the effects upon these processes of power differentials, conflicts of interests, and the cognitive limitations of human agents. It seeks to investigate the limits of discursive rationality, thus moderating unrestricted optimism on the power of reason, while also recognizing the important role that rational arguments play in various domains (science, politics, education). Its extensive use of real-life examples ensures that the analysis remain grounded in concrete situations, and facilitates the reader's understanding of the main theoretical framework developed throughout the book.

Christ Inexhaustible
  • A Provisional Christology for a Diverse World

  • How can Christians navigate the kaleidoscopic landscape of devotion to Jesus? In this study, Higton explores what it might mean to worship and follow the Jesus who can wear so many faces and call with so many voices. Higton proposes a high Christology, in which the Word is the image of God's inexhaustible life, the incarnation makes that Word present in flesh that is itself inexhaustible, and the Spirit unfolds this inexhaustible life in a profusion of forms of devotion. Each such form is an improvisation upon Scripture and an experiment in love, and each also fraught with failure. In conversation with Black, womanist, and trans theologies, Higton argues that, for all the problems that beset it, the classical Christological tradition can be a resource for liberative theologies. He also shows that works of doctrinal theology can remain visibly rooted in specific lives and contexts, and oriented towards mercy, justice, and love.

Experiencing Shakespeare's Theatres
  • Playgoing, Pleasure and Judgement in Early Modern England

  • In this transformative study, Simon Smith explores how playwrights like Shakespeare crafted their plays for demanding and varied commercial audiences. Rediscovering the many forms of judgement practiced in the early modern playhouse, he investigates influences ranging from the classical tradition and grammar-school classroom to ballad and jest culture. Where many prior studies have treated 'the judicious' as a self-contained subset of playgoers, Smith reveals the variety of careful assessments made in the theatre by a wide range of playgoers, showing that judgement and pleasure were often simultaneous elements of the same response. Chapters examine specific parts of plays that were especially subject to evaluation and generative of enjoyment: spectacle, words, plot, and actorly technique. Close readings shed fresh light on much-studied plays like Hamlet and Volpone, as well as exploring several unfairly overlooked plays. This is a Flip it Open title and may be available open access on Cambridge Core.

Renewal in Contemporary Islamic Thought and Society

  • Renewal in Contemporary Islamic Thought and Society explores the shifting perspectives and debates in contemporary Islamic thought. Seeking solutions to 21st-century social issues and modern Muslim needs, Muhammad Al-Atawneh presents a fresh assessment of Islamic renewal (tajdid), Muslim ethics, and intellectual revitalization, while also reassessing Islam's image and role in the modern world today. He interrogates the dynamics of renewal in Islam by reevaluating the methods by which traditional Islamic principles may be realigned to handle modern challenges. By aligning religious practice with contemporary circumstances, he also examines efforts addressing current social problems and that advance justice, equality, and good governance within the framework of Islamic tradition. Al-Atawneh demonstrates how academic inquiry stimulate a healthy intellectual culture within Muslim society. A transformative examination of renewal within Islamic thought, his astute analysis also shows how Islamic teachings and modern science can coexist, generating a harmonious coexistence between religion and reason.

  • Incidents at Sea in US Diplomacy and International Law chronicles America's maritime struggles from 1798 to 2025, blending riveting historical narratives with in-depth legal analysis. This book chronicles pivotal maritime incidents in US history from 1798 to 2025, exploring US naval and diplomatic efforts to shape the law of the sea. Spanning 14 chapters, the book dissects key conflicts with France, Great Britain, the Barbary States, Germany, Russia, North Korea, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Libya, China and the Houthi forces in Yemen. These disputes highlight themes of freedom of navigation, innocent passage, neutral rights and protection of commerce, high seas freedoms, and gray zone coercion, armed attack and self-defense at sea. The incidents range from historical conflicts over neutral rights to contemporary challenges to freedom of navigation, which is a cornerstone of the US alliance system with NATO and key allies, including Australia, the Philippines, Korea and Japan.

Salafism in Tunisia
  • Political Engagement and the Advent of Post-Salafism
  • Théo Blanc
  • Coming soon

    30 November 2026
  • By offering a comparative analysis of Salafi movements in Tunisia, Théo Blanc advances a systematic theory explaining variation in Salafi pathways of political engagement, built around the concepts of subjective and processual opportunities. The book first explores how Salafism developed in the country and crystallised into distinct currents – scholastic, political, and Jihadi – and then examines their respective adaptations to the 2010–11 revolution and evolutions during the democratisation decade (2011–21). This evolution culminated in what Blanc calls a shift towards post-Salafism, defined as a re-hierarchisation of actors' priorities in action. Blanc draws on rich fieldwork material, including interviews with the founding figures of Salafism in Tunisia, leading Salafi clerics and ideologues, and Salafi and Islamist party leaders, alongside original documentary sources. In doing so, Salafism in Tunisia makes a significant contribution to key debates in political science and Islamic studies, including inclusion-moderation, post-Islamism, political opportunity structure, politicisation, and the conceptualisation of both Salafism and Islamism.

  • A celebrity in his own time, Handel remains popular with performers, music-lovers and scholars today. The specially commissioned contributions to this volume will enable students, teachers and concert-goers to better appreciate his music through a deeper understanding of the world in which he lived. The chapters focus on key aspects of the composer's career within the different social, political, cultural and musical contexts he experienced in Britain and Europe. They explore Handel's lifestyle and his personal and professional relationships; the various musical establishments for which he worked; the styles, practices and personnel that shaped his compositions; and the influence, reception and legacy of his music during and since his lifetime. Writing from a variety of perspectives, authors shed light on each topic while helping readers to navigate the breadth of recent scholarship. This book is an essential reference work for anybody studying Handel's music or that of his eighteenth-century contemporaries.

Profaning Religion on the Modern Stage

  • Religion made the theatre modern. Since the late nineteenth century, theatre theorists have asserted that drama's origins lie in religious ritual. In this ambitious study, Rebecca Kastleman traces the surprising effects of that claim for the modern and contemporary stage. Across lucidly written chapters, she tracks the 'modern drama of religion,' a movement rooted in both the many modern plays that engage directly with religion and the dramatic debut of new religious practices in the modern theatre. Such works serve as crucibles for catalyzing skepticism, dissolving some religious attachments and strengthening others. Modern playwrights' fascination with religion expanded the frontiers of theatrical experimentation, such that in modernity, the purported origin of theatre in religious ritual came to signify the cutting edge of artistic invention. Spanning drama, performance, modernism, and religious studies, this study powerfully reconfigures the relations between all these fields.

Progress in the Social Sciences

  • Progress in the Social Sciences examines the degree to which social scientists have made progress in their understanding of democracy and democratic transitions. It provides a framework to assess social science research and a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the field of democracy studies from the late eighteenth century to the present. The book finds that sustained progress has been made by the social sciences and that progress has come through the development of concepts, theories, data, and empirical tests. Moreover, the book argues that advances in knowledge have been made via bold innovations rather than through many small incremental steps. Driven by a desire to better understand whether the social sciences contribute to knowledge about societies and their problems, Progress in the Social Sciences is an ambitious and innovative work that counters the pessimistic views about accomplishments in the social sciences. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

  • Sixty years after their final collaboration Rodgers and Hammerstein remain central figures in the world of musical theatre, and their global influence continues to be felt. This Companion presents their iconic work for a new generation of students, teachers and fans, giving both historical context and new perspectives on the partners, the people with whom they collaborated, and the shows they created. A chapter is devoted to each musical, from Oklahoma! to The Sound of Music, providing key information about that work in both its staged and film versions, and analysis of its distinctive features including those that present challenges for practitioners, audiences and researchers today. The volume also introduces the early careers of both creators and Rodgers's work after Hammerstein's death. The contributions represent a variety of complementary disciplinary backgrounds that can serve as models for future study not just on Rodgers and Hammerstein but also on musical theatre more generally.

The Cambridge History of Women and British Romanticism

  • Highlighting the vibrancy and courage of women's contributions to the Romantic era's cultural politics, this History explores – from the perspective of women – the period's British incarnations to demonstrate how female accomplishment challenged secondary social status and initiated an early form of feminist protest and gender study. Separate chapters examine the media that women used – including (but not limited to) song, music, needlework, drawing, and empirical experimentation – and the range of venues and locales where they performed their gender identities and cultural assessments. While making space for writers, writing, and textual literacy, the History resists prevalent bias toward these media as agents of social transformation, prioritizing instead collective, improvisatorial, and embodied modes of creativity and protest. Recognizing the contested nature of both 'British Romanticism' and 'women' in today's critical discourse, this major work puts these two constructed entities into dialogue to explore the history and evolution of their creative critical interactions.

Dispute Resolution Processes in England and Wales

  • The book examines how civil disputes are resolved in England and Wales, where courts, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and digital technologies increasingly interact within a pluralist justice system. Part I analyses adjudicative processes-particularly litigation and arbitration-as mechanisms for delivering substantive justice. Part II explores consensual and hybrid approaches, including negotiation, mediation, and ombudsman schemes, focusing on their adaptability and emphasis on early settlement. Part III considers technological innovation, including Online Dispute Resolution, digital courts, and artificial intelligence, and how these developments are reshaping access to justice. Tracing the convergence of adjudicative, consensual, and digital processes, the book argues that technology is dissolving traditional boundaries between court-based and ADR methods. It advances a conceptual and practical framework for twenty-first-century civil dispute resolution, integrating doctrinal, comparative, and policy insights, and it positions justice, settlement, and technology as the core pillars of analysis and reform.

  • Not long ago, the dinner table was the heart of everyday family life, a place where everyone gathered after work or school to share their day over food. Today, instant messaging has become a new kind of virtual dinner table. Families move, live apart, and span generations, yet family talk continues-online. This fascinating book explores how contemporary families, including families-in-law, gather and connect in family chatrooms. Through the lens of Interactional Sociolinguistics 2.0, it shows how family members use not just language but also everyday photos and videos to build family talk, manage familial relationships, and shape family identity. Offering a detailed sociolinguistic and cultural account, it highlights three key phenomena that define family group chats: text-image-participant relations, multimodal displays of power and solidarity, and the interplay of frames and chronotopes. Together, these insights reveal how family talk continues to thrive in the digital age, beyond the dinner table.

  • This book comprises a unique collection of insights into Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi's groundbreaking work across physics, ranging from high-energy physics and spin glasses to turbulence and collective animal behaviour. Originating from a series of seminars at the Sapienza University of Rome, each chapter focuses on one of Parisi's seminal contributions, penned by leading experts who highlight the depth and interdisciplinary impact of his ideas. The volume revisits widely disseminated achievements like the Altarelli-Parisi equations and replica symmetry breaking, and presents lesser-known work, revealing hidden connections between seemingly distant domains. Enhanced by lively discussions and a personal retrospective from Parisi himself, this book is both a tribute to a visionary scientist and an invitation to discover the unifying threads woven throughout modern physics. Showcasing how one thinker's creativity can reshape entire landscapes of knowledge, it is invaluable for experienced researchers and motivated graduate students in the field of theoretical physics.
