Introduces a Bayesian approach to the use of causal models to design and carry out qualitative and mixed-methods research. Addressed to researchers across the social sciences, this book shows how causal models allow us to combine extensive and intensive data strategies to answer both general and case-specific causal questions.

Law, Power, and Imperial Ideology in the Iconoclast Era explores Roman law and canon law to chart the various responses to the turbulent years of the Iconoclast era, c.680-850, which saw the rise of Islam and the emergence of medieval Byzantium from the wreckage of ancient Rome.

In 1965 Fritz Zwicky proposed a class of supernovae that he called "Type V", described as "excessively faint at maximum." There were only two members, SN1961v and eta Carinae. We now know that eta Carinae was not a true supernova, but if it were observed today in a distant galaxy we would call it a "supernova impostor." 170 years ago it experienced a "great eruption" lasting 20 years, expelling 10 solar masses or more, and survived. Eta Carina...
