The Spiritual Narratives of Generation Z explores how the first smartphone generation narrates faith amid shifting religious practice and influencer culture. Grounded in pioneering research begun at the University of Oxford, it is the first study to use story completion and participatory co-analysis to place Gen Z voices at the center of religious inquiry. At its core is a typology of five narratives, from Divine Disillusionment to Simple Faith, that uncover young people’s latent beliefs and spiritual aspirations. Combining the breadth of qualitative analysis with the depth of narrative interpretation, this book offers fresh insights into how today’s youngest adults are reshaping the religious imagination, engaging with global religions and philosophies through their smartphones. It will appeal to students and scholars of religion and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in how young people imagine religious and spiritual role models today.
Zombies ... Kung Fu ... Masked Killers ... Giant Monsters ... Barbarians ... Cannibals ... And more Away from the glittering lights and busy streets of mainstream film, there are dark and forgotten places, where the hiss of static in a dark room begins a fever dream, where the bizarre rears its head out of the screen and smacks you between the eyes. Those cinematic moments that shake you awake and make you ask yourself if you really saw that. Those moments are a virus that worms itself into your mind, into your DNA, and the only way to escape it is to pass it on. Between these covers you will find 229 more of these viral bullets waiting to infect you. Here you'll find neon-dressed ninjas disguised as fish, zombies with flying heads, comedies about glue-sniffing serial killers, demonic Santas, policemen that are part-time wizards, Bigfoot rampages, singing cowboys, killer mannequins, hypnotized acid-spewing frogs that know kung fu, and countless more moments that will make you ask, "What the heck was THAT?"
Trilobites are among the most remarkable lifeforms ever to exist. First emerging 521 million years ago, these organisms—animals with highly developed eyes, sturdy walking legs, and protective outer shells—evolved into more than 25,000 scientifically recognized species. During their 270 million years of inhabiting the ancient seas, trilobites proliferated into an ever-more-fanciful cast of characters, from graceful Cambrian olenellids to robust Ordovician asaphids to spine-covered Devonian phacopids. Their fossil remains, which today can be found on every continent, testify to the astonishing breadth and scope of trilobite heterogeneity. Trilobites A to Z is the ultimate reference guide to these incredible invertebrates. It features reader-friendly, concise yet information-packed introductions to nearly 1,500 trilobite species, each accompanied by a full-color photograph. Grouped according to periods within the Paleozoic era, the book illuminates the similarities and differences among trilobite specimens from around the globe, bringing to life the complexity and beauty of these long-extinct creatures in all their variety. Andy Secher—one of the world’s leading trilobite collectors—also offers practical guidance for readers seeking to identify specimens of their own. Comprehensive and entertainingly written, this essential encyclopedia will inform and delight trilobite enthusiasts and collectors as well as students and scholars of invertebrate paleontology.
