A rare and valuable contribution to our understanding of how knowledge traverses linguistic and cultural boundariesTranslation and the History of Knowledge is an anthology honoring Professor Lawrence Wang-chi Wong's contributions to translation studies and Chinese translation history. This volume comprises fourteen articles by leading scholars from diverse disciplines, including translation studies, comparative literature, and East Asian studies, to examine the multifaceted role of translation in knowledge production and transmission. Spanning from the Jesuits' cross-cultural communication in the seventeenth century to the translational efforts of sinologists and missionaries in the twentieth century, these articles highlight not only the cultural mediation by Western and Chinese scholars but also the pivotal role of translation in shaping cultural ideas.

Since its foundation in 1923, the Republic of Turkey has had a complex and often misunderstood relationship with religion. The constitutional la騃it?implemented by its founders is unique in a Muslim context, and although the majority of the population identifies as Muslim, the state recognizes no official religion. Despite this secular stance, Islam has been resurgent in Turkey in the 21st century. Moreover, the relative openness of Turkish society has cultivated vibrant religious (and non-religious) minority communities, placing it at the forefront of global demographic changes in religion. As a result, Turkey has fostered a perennial dynamism among expressions of religious practice, belief, and identity. The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Turkey offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which religion is understood, experienced, and contested in contemporary Turkey. The Handbook is arranged into thematic sections dealing with religion and the origin of the state, theological tren

We’ve never been in greater need of resilience. We’ve also never misunderstood it more.At one point or another, life will break us open. This is when we need resilience most—but as psychologist Dr. Sherry Hamby reveals, many of us are going about it the wrong way. Resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t. Instead, it is a modifiable process—meaning anyone can learn, practice, and benefit from it across every stage of life.Drawing on more than thirty years studying violence, trauma, and recovery, Dr. Hamby reveals that the key to becoming more resilient lies in harnessing the necessary resources and assets to thrive after hardship. She calls this your resilience portfolio. The more and different kinds of strengths in your portfolio—in the form of internal assets like meaning-making and regulatory skills, and external resources like supportive social networks and physical environments—the more quickly you can bounce back from adversity, and the better prepared you’ll be to wea

An hourly guide that follows twenty-four mollusks to reveal the fascinating lives behind their shells. From morning to night and from the Arctic to the equator, snails, clams, and other shell-making mollusks have busy days. In this short book, award-winning author and marine biologist Helen Scales shows readers exactly how these animals spend their time. Each chapter of Shell Day features a single mollusk during a single hour, highlighting twenty-four unique species. We begin our day far in the north, where the Svalbard archipelago lies deep in the darkness of the polar night. And yet, in what remains a scientific mystery, Iceland scallops continue daily rhythms, closing and opening their fan-shaped shells using an internal clock. At noon, we observe a clam shell sitting still on the seabed of a sandy tropical lagoon. The two shells open a crack, and a pair of rounded eyes peep out. A small, rust-colored coconut octopus hiding inside lets the clam shells fall apart and gathers them u

Alternating between abundant visual information and material reticence, Aldrich's diffuse painting practice creates a constellation of formal interpretationsAmerican artist Richard Aldrich is renowned for working within an expanded definition of painting. His works alternate between expressing an abundance of visual information and material reticence. His imagery might range from richly dappled abstractions in oil and wax to a primed canvas containing purely a line written by British psychiatrist Henry Maudsley in 1918. Such variation in imagery is matched by radical interventions into the materiality of the painting itself. Aldrich’s exhibitions are constellations of interrelated but heterogeneous parts that reflect on each other to create different levels of potential understanding, which in a broader sense seek to consider how intelligence is attributed to objects in the act of interpreting them.Featuring newly commissioned essays, this monograph presents the widest-ranging overview
