Localizing Islam in Europe: Turkish Islamic Communities in Germany and the Netherlands By Ahmet Yükleyen
2012 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0815650582 | PDF | 6 MB
In the twentieth century, Muslim minorities emerged in Europe seeking work, a refuge from conflict, and higher life standards. As a result, there are now more than 12 million Muslims in Western Europe. As these immigrants became permanent residents, the Islamic communities they developed had to respond to their European context, reinterpreting Islam in accordance with local conditions. In Localizing Islam in Europe, Yükleyen brings this adaptation to light, demonstrating how Islam and Europe have shaped one another and challenging the idea that Islamic beliefs are inherently antithetical to European secular, democratic, and pluralist values.Yûkleyen compares five different forms of religious communities among Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands and Germany that represent a spectrum from moderate to revolutionary Islamic opinions. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, he finds that, despite differences in goals and beliefs, these communities play an intermediary role, negotiating between the social and religious needs of Muslims and the socioeconomic, legal, and political context of Europe. Yûkleyen's rich ethnography shows that there is no single form of assimilated and privatized "European Islam" but rather Islamic communities and their interpretations and practices that localize Islam in Europe.Ahmet Yûkleyen is Croft Assistant Professor of Anthropology and International Studies at the University of Mississippi. His research focuses on anthropology of religion, ethnicity, Islamic movements, and multiculturalism."Despite challenges of the post 9/11 context, Yukleyen's rich ethnography shows that religion is a resource for integration not only by bonding among Muslims but also bridging activism with the larger society in Western Europe"-Jocelyne Cesari, Director of the Islam in the West Program, Harvard University and John Hopkins University"Ahmet Yukleyen's Localizing Islam in Europe cuts through the shrill debates to provide a rich and authoritative portrait of the lived reality of Muslims adapting to life in Europe. His insights will be invaluable for student, scholars, and policymakers alike."-Peter Mandaville, George Mason University, author of Global Political Islam"Ahmet Yükleyen provides a clear and convincing account of the different orientations of the major Turkish religious institutions in Germany and the Netherlands. All those interested in Islam in Europe today should read this book."-John R. Bowen, author of Can Islam Be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State"A compelling and important contribution to our understanding of Islam in Europe."-Esra Özyürek, University of California, San Diego

Steven H. Weintraub, "Linear Algebra for the Young Mathematician "
English | ISBN: 1470450844 | 2019 | 389 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Linear Algebra for the Young Mathematician is a careful, thorough, and rigorous introduction to linear algebra. It adopts a conceptual point of view, focusing on the notions of vector spaces and linear transformations, and it takes pains to provide proofs that bring out the essential ideas of the subject. It begins at the beginning, assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, but goes quite far, and it includes many topics not usually treated in introductory linear algebra texts, such as Jordan canonical form and the spectral theorem. While it concentrates on the finite-dimensional case, it treats the infinite-dimensional case as well. The book illustrates the centrality of linear algebra by providing numerous examples of its application within mathematics. It contains a wide variety of both conceptual and computational exercises at all levels, from the relatively straightforward to the quite challenging. Readers of this book will not only come away with the knowledge that the results of linear algebra are true, but also with a deep understanding of why they are true.

Life of a Triathlete: Race Preparation by Meredith B. Kessler
English | August 19, 2016 | ISBN: 1945840013 | 226 pages | EPUB | 0.34 Mb
Life of a Triathlete: Race Preparation A guide for amateur and pro athletes In May of 2011, after thirty-nine straight Ironman finishes, Meredith Kessler passed out on the twenty-second mile of the marathon at Ironman St. George. At the time, she was all alone in second place. Even as a veteran of the sport, she still made a mistake that cost her $25,000 in podium and sponsorship funding and a $3,000 emergency room hospital bill. Life of a Triathlete is a guidebook to help elite and amateur competitors reach their goals by reducing the trial and error that plagues the sport. Triathlon books have traditionally focused on some combination of training methods, gear, and inspirational coaching. While these subjects, understandably, cannot be ignored when participating in the sport, there are ample additional avenues to consider in the effort to help you reach your objectives. Kessler approaches the book through a practical, business point of view, where the things done in preparation for a race will enable an athlete's peak performance. In the first two books of her Life of a Triathlete series, she covers topics ranging from the off-season, nutrition, hydration, and supplements to race-week tips, marketing, social media, expenses, taxes, and general organization. Life of a Triathlete examines how a perennial above-average amateur learned, through much trial and error, how to elevate herself and navigate the pro ranks. This manual does not discriminate based on level of competitiveness and the tips and techniques can be used across all sports. Meredith Kessler enjoys sharing her learned knowledge with the triathlon world and beyond so that athletes everywhere can reduce the time it takes to achieve their dreams. Authored By: Meredith B. Kessler 10x Ironman Champion, 20x 70.3 Champion & 50+ Full Ironman Races Completed & Aaron Kessler entrepreneur Foreword by: Chris Wright - competing amateur triathlete & businessman

Letters from the Light Brigade: The British Cavalry in the Crimean War by Anthony Dawson
English | January 31st, 2020 | ISBN: 1783030275 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 21.21 MB
The Charge of the Light Brigade is one of the most famous, controversial and emotive small-scale actions in military history. Over the 160 years since the event, and since it was immortalized in Tennyson's poem, it has generated a stream of writing and debate. Yet, as this new book by Anthony Dawson shows, the subject is far from exhausted. His selection of previously unpublished letters and journal accounts of the two cavalry charges at the Battle of Balaklava is a notable addition to the literature on the Crimean War. It offers a direct insight into events on the battlefield as they were seen and understood by those who witnessed them and by those who took part. In their own words, and in the language of the time, the men who were there recorded what they knew and felt.

Kurdistan on the Global Stage By Diane E. King
2013 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 0813563526 | PDF | 3 MB
Anthropologist Diane E. King has written about everyday life in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which covers much of the area long known as Iraqi Kurdistan. Following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's Ba'thist Iraqi government by the United States and its allies in 2003, Kurdistan became a recognized part of the federal Iraqi system. The Region is now integrated through technology, media, and migration to the rest of the world.Focusing on household life in Kurdistan's towns and villages, King explores the ways that residents connect socially, particularly through patron-client relationships and as people belonging to gendered categories. She emphasizes that patrilineages (male ancestral lines) seem well adapted to the Middle Eastern modern stage and viceversa. The idea of patrilineal descent influences the meaning of refuge-seeking and migration as well as how identity and place are understood, how women and men interact, and how "politicking" is conducted.In the new Kurdistan, old values may be maintained, reformulated, or questioned. King offers a sensitive interpretation of the challenges resulting from the intersection of tradition with modernity. Honor killings still occur when males believe their female relatives have dishonored their families, and female genital cutting endures. Yet, this is a region where modern technology has spread and seemingly everyone has a mobile phone. Households may have a startling combination of illiterate older women and educated young women. New ideas about citizenship coexist with older forms of patronage.King is one of the very few scholars who conducted research in Iraq under extremely difficult conditions during the Saddam Hussein regime. How she was able to work in the midst of danger and in the wake of genocide is woven throughout the stories she tells. Kurdistan on the Global Stage serves as a lesson in field research as well as a valuable ethnography.
