Sertorius1 saw that the onrush of the locals could not be restrained, and acted harshly toward his allies.2 Some he arraigned and put to death, others he put under guard, and he confiscated the property of the wealthiest. He collected a large amount of silver and gold yet did not place it in the common treasury for the war but stored it for himself. He did not pay his soldiers from it, nor share it with the other commanders. He did not hold capital cases with his council or advisors, but heard them himself as the sole judge, passing the sentences. He was unwilling to invite his commanders to his meals and showed no courtesy to his friends. In general, because of the weakening of his position, he became exasperated and acted tyrannically toward everyone.

The silent film Grass (1925), which follows the seasonal migration of members of the Bakhtiari tribal confederation and their herds, shows mobile pastoralism as a changeless, remote, environmentally driven, and primitive way of life. An anthropological and historical analysis of the film explores problematic conceptions that still underlie the contemporary study of historical and ancient pastoralism.
Although residents of The Villages often say, "You name it, they have a club for it, and if they don’t, you can start one," moving to the city frequently necessitates quitting or reducing involvement in existing activities. Additionally, aging presents various challenges to participation, such as declining health and lack of companionship. Based on the ecological model of leisure constraints, this chapter explores how residents navigate these conditions, why some choose not to negotiate them, and how the vast array of activities in The Villages both supports and hinders successful negotiation.
The introduction outlines the main issues to be discussed in following chapters and underlines the paradigm-changing implications of the book for current attempts to bring literary/ art studies closer to empirical and cognitive domains such as linguistics and the cognitive sciences. It presents the book as a concrete example of two-way interdisciplinarity and methodological merger between literary and art-theoretical discourse on the one hand and naturalised scientific enquiry on the other. Finally, it identifies those aspects of the Chomskian and relevance theory programmes that make them crucial intellectual precursors to the present book.

In a bustling neighbourhood in a bylane off the Western Express Highway in Mumbai, a small room houses the women's sharia adalat (alternative dispute resolution forum) of the BMMA. The women's sharia court, as it is popularly known, is presided over only by activists of the BMMA who have been trained as qazi who resolve marital disputes. In the adjudication of cases, the qazi heard both the sides when a couple approached the court for resolving a matrimonial dispute. She often advised both men and women to demonstrate compassion (raham) in their everyday interactions even at the point of breakdown of a marriage. Suraiya Shaikh, a female qazi, conducted training sessions on Muslim family law on marriage, divorce and maintenance for women of the neighbourhood. In her training sessions, she often emphasised the spiritual equality of men and women and how they were equally obligated to lead a life of piety. Shaikh would invoke this notion of equality to critique social and legal inequality between men and women.
In this chapter, I analyse the concept of gender equality as it is constituted by activists and adjudicators of the BMMA. In doing so, I delineate how notions of ethics are brought to bear on the concept of gender equality. While the previous chapter showed how the right to religious freedom is constituted in ethical ways using the language of duty by activists while they navigate the framework of minority rights and Muslim family law, this chapter focuses on the concept of gender equality. In debates on multiculturalism, gender equality has been a bone of contention. Liberal feminists have often been preoccupied with the question of balancing gender equality with the cultural and religious rights of minority communities. Theorists working within a liberal multiculturalist paradigm dwell upon the state regulation of minority cultural, ethnic and religious practices for the attainment of normative goods such as freedom, autonomy and gender equality. There is, on the one hand, Okin's rather crude characterisation of cultures that are ‘religious ones and those that look to the past – to ancient texts of revered traditions’ – as discriminating against women. Okin's work suffers from a careless characterisation of cultures and religions.
Humanity’s impact on the planet is undeniable. Fairly and effectively addressing environmental problems begins with understanding their causes and impacts. Is over-population the main driver of environmental degradation? Poverty? Capitalism? Poor governance? Imperialism? Patriarchy? Clearly these are not technical questions, but political ones.
Updated to cover new debates, data, and policy, and expanded to include chapters on colonialism, race and gender, and the impacts of energy and resource extraction, this book introduces students to diverse perspectives and helps them develop an informed understanding of why environmental problems occur.
How the international community should act is deeply contested. Guiding students through the potential responses, including multilateral diplomacy, transnational voluntary action, innovative financial mechanisms, problem displacement, consumer-focused campaigns, and resistance, this book explains the different forms of political action, their limitations and injustices.
Online resources include lecture slides, a test bank for instructors, updated weblinks to videos, and suggested readings for students.

This chapter extends the conceptual framework laid out in Chapter 2 to a series of basic questions about various dimensions of ancient and historical pastoralism, using constellations of methods reviewed in Chapters 4 and 5. Answering these questions on the basis of empirical archaeological data also builds a broader basis for comparing ancient pastoralism to historically and ethnographically documented practices, providing the means to generate stronger ethnographic analogies for archaeological interpretation, as discussed in Chapter 3.
