by Clare Doyle

I think the real understanding comes when we recognize our humanity in each other. That’s not just between blacks and whites. That’s between all religions as well.” — Phylicia Rashad, Huffington Post, November 2010

This issue of OTH Bookshelf on religions focuses on the lived experiences of people around the world in the 20th and 21st centuries, rather than theology, ethics or history. The areas studied in these works range from Bengal to Bulgaria, from Finland to Fiji, from Costa Rica to California. The authors turn a spotlight on Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Orisha, Bon, and neopaganism. There are more than 100 academic titles from over 40 publishers. 

The OTH list of open access academic titles includes the book’s author or editor names, title and title remainder, year of publication, publisher, and open access format (PDF, EPUB, MOBI, etc.) Subject headings in the list are taken from WorldCat records or Library of Congress records, if available: if not, original cataloging of subject headings is provided in WorldCat format, for consistency. The DOI (Digital Object Identifier) of the book is given if it is available on the publisher’s website; if not, the URL is provided. The ISBNs listed are for the online version of the book if available, and if more than one online ISBN is available the ISBN for the PDF version has been preferred; if there is not an online or e-book ISBN, the ISBN featured on the publisher’s website is included. The book’s license type (Creative Commons, etc.), terms of use or copyright restrictions are included if these have been provided by the publisher.

If our readers are aware of any title or publishers that are not included, please feel free to submit them for consideration. (To be included in OTH Bookshelf, a book must be available to read online and/or download for free and must have been assigned an ISBN.) And we welcome your suggestions for topics that might be covered in a future issue of OTH Bookshelf.
