Islam and statecraft : religious soft power in the Arab Gulf states
\"Here, Jon Hoffman analyzes the differing ways in which political considerations impact how religion is marshaled as a tool of foreign policy in the Middle East. Instead of religion influencing political outcomes, this analysis examines how politics influences religious outcomes. This book develops a comprehensive analytical framework for the notion of \"religious soft power\" capable of incorporating power-based, identity-based, and ideational variables to examine how states couple religion with their broader foreign policy conduct\"-- Provided by publisher.

Telomere-to-telomere reference genome of the common five-lined skink, Plestiodon fasciatus (Squamata: Scincidae)
Although the publication of high-quality reference genomes is steadily increasing, many clades remain chronically neglected. Skinks (order, Squamata; family, Scincidae) are one of the most diverse lizard families (1,785 species), yet there are currently just six published chromosome-level skink genomes. Here, we present the first telomere-to-telomere, chromosome-level reference genome for one of the most abundant lizards in the eastern United States, the common five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus). Through the sequencing of RNA, long-read DNA, and Hi-C chromatin interactions, we produced an annotated reference genome (N50 = 227MB, L50 = 3) consisting of 6 macrochromosome pairs and 7 microchromosome pairs with 98% of BUSCO genes represented (lineage, Sauropsida; 7480 BUSCO markers), providing one of the most complete skink genomes to date: rPleFas1.1. Functional annotation predicts 32,520 protein-coding genes (16,100 unique, named genes) with an average gene length of 9,372 bp. Repeat annotations estimate that transposable elements comprise 46.7% of the genome, for which we show the amount and content is remarkably conserved across Scincidae.
