In The Political Economy of Climate Finance Effectiveness in Developing Countries, Mark Purdon contributes to broader debates on the international climate cooperation by evaluating how three different climate finance instruments have been undertaken in three countries--Tanzania, Uganda, and Moldova--and evaluates their effectiveness in actually reducing emissions. He shows that the effectiveness of climate finance tools depends on the interaction between a nation's development policy paradigms and its interests in other sectors of their economies. Purdon's findings further inform the design of international and transnational efforts to engage developing countries on climate change mitigation by emphasizing the importance of domestic politics and the state.

Reading Miscellany in the Roman Empire interprets Aulus Gellius' second-century text, the Noctes Atticae, as a fundamentally literary collection that offers a profound meditation on the experience of reading and literary culture at the height of the Roman Empire. Incorporating textual analysis alongside narratology-informed approaches, Scott J. DiGiulio investigates the strategies used by Gellius to innovate within the Latin literary tradition and provides a framework for interpreting this text's perceived disorder on its own terms.

This book offers the first detailed reception history of adaptations of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations from 1800-2020. By focusing on ways the piece has been arranged, transcribed, and reworked, or quoted in in film, dance, literature, visual art, and digital media, it reveals changing views about the role of the composer and score that have impacted recent performance practices and notions of the work concept. Beyond this, it features the work of composers, many from underrepresented backgrounds, who have recently deconstructed Bach by reimagining the subjects, compositional procedures, and forms, using contemporary compositional approaches.

Modern study of biblical prophecy frequently defines prophecy as a message from God and has focused almost exclusively on prophets' words. But prophecy was always also embodied. Anathea E. Portier-Young insists on the synergy of word and body in biblical prophecy. Prophets did more than reveal knowledge: the prophetic body connected God and people, making them present to one another, channeling divine power, traveling between realms. Drawing insights from disciplines ranging from neurobiology to cultural studies, the author examines stories of prophetic commissioning, bodily transformation, asceticism and ecstasy, mobility and immobility, affect and emotion, revealing the body's centrality to prophetic mediation.

"This book is about relationships between a federalist political system and bioethics. It was conceived when the paramount issue about federalism in the U.S. seemed be access to care, with states refusing to access Medicaid. It was initially drafted when fifty years of federal constitutional protection for reproductive freedom seemed increasingly likely to end. And it was completed in the shadow of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to return abortion regulation "to the people's elected representatives" in the states. Our book explores the permissibility of differences about health, health care, and public health in a single polity of interconnected subnational units with constitutionally recognized status-that is, a federalist society. Abortion is but the tip of the iceberg of these differences, albeit a very pointed one. The federalism of the compound republic constructed by Hamilton and Madison has flexibilities and strengths but also weaknesses in dealing with moral conflicts in circumstances of injustice. These features of federalism generate ethical challenges for health care providers, their patients, and public health. A further goal of this book is to consider how providers should negotiate these challenges"--

Aristotle's moral and political thought formed the backbone of education in practical philosophy for centuries during the classical and medieval periods. It has often been presumed, however, that with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, this tradition was broken. Countering this widespread view, Manfred Svensson discusses dozens of commentaries on Aristotle's Ethics and Politics that emerged from Protestant universities and academies throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, showing that early modern Protestants never lost their connection to Aristotle. He offers a broad contextualization of these works and in-depth discussion of their key ethical and political concepts.

Feeling Singular reconceives the Early Republic period of the United States by presenting the forgotten and queer stories of a series of marginal, even eccentric figures in the republican United States. Through closely reading a range of texts--from manuscripts to hastily printed books, and from phonetically spelled pamphlets to sexually explicit broadsides--Bascom uses the language of queer studies to understand what made someone singular in the early United States and how that singularity points at the ruptures in social codes that get normalized through historical analysis.
