Book excerpt: One of the fundamental tenets of modernism was its image of hygiene, its ideal of bringing cleanliness and order to the great unwashed, as evident in Adolf Loos's 1898 article, Plumbers. Using Loos as a point of departure, the essays in this collection examine architecture through the multiple meanings inherent in plumbing - from the pipes of modern hygiene, to the plumb line of the right angle, to Marcel Duchamp's Ready-made urinal.

Download or read book The Nadir and the Zenith written by Anna Pochmara and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nadir and the Zenith is a study of temperance and melodramatic excess in African American fiction before the Harlem Renaissance. Anna Pochmara combines formal analysis with attention to the historical context, which, in addition to postbellum race relations in the United States, includes white and black temperance movements and their discourses. Despite its proliferation and popularity at the time, African American fiction between Reconstruction and World War I has not attracted nearly as much scholarly attention as the Harlem Renaissance. Pochmara provocatively suggests that the historical moment when black people’s “status in American society” reached its lowest point— what historian Rayford Logan called the “Nadir”—coincides with the zenith of black novelistic productivity before World War II. Pochmara examines authors such as William Wells Brown, Charles W. Chesnutt, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins, and Amelia E. Johnson. Together, these six writers published no fewer than seventeen novels in the years of the Nadir (1877–1901), surpassing the creativity of all New Negro prose writers and the number of novels they published during the height of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s.

Book excerpt: Nadir shahs name went down in history also as a great reformer of religion. It is knotwo parts; in the West the Turks of Azerbaijan were far from the Turks of the Ottomans who believed in the faith of Sunnite Henefi of Islam, in the east from the Turks of the Middle Asia. Afterwards, Shah Ismayils religious reforms gave a chance to the Persian nationalists to seize the power. wn from the history that the Safavids had come to the power by preferring the ideology of Shiite. As soon as Shah Ismayil came to the power, came to the throne in Tabriz, he carried out a religious reform, and obliged the population of the provinces of Azerbaijan and Persian to adopt Shiite. Though he the big ruinous wars lasted for ten years; The cunning power centers of that time could use properly the chance of the difference of faith between the brotherly countries. He abolished Alevilik which was adopted by the dynasty of Safavids as an official religious faith, and made the faith of Jafari official. During his time Azerbaijan restored itshad established a big state, the religious reform carried out by him, divided the Turkish world into The discrimination of faith made the Turks of both Azerbaijan and Turkey, be face to face, and caused to former might again, and in the world it became the second mighty state after the state of Ottomans. But it didnt last much. In 1747, Nadir shah was assassinated by the captain of unfortunate Motherland and the historical facts. This history has been living in the heart of any Azerbaijani and throws light on its future. Up to Yunus Oghuzs this novel, there were written different works about Nadir shah. But except Yunus Oghuzs novel, in none of those works Nadir shah didnt unite the historical lands of the country, or didnt reinstate the old Turkish traditions, and at last as a connective, and reformer. Up this time, especially, during the Soviet period, the real heroes of Azerbaijan were forgotten, they were disgraced underhis guard at the age of sixty-one. It was the beginning of the fall of the empire of Azerbaijan which could be able to last till 1925. The novel of Nadir shah by Yunus Oguz reflects wholly one part of the glorious history of our different brands, the personalities who put the foundation of the division by the policy pursued by them, were shown to the people as heroes. The name of Nadir shah Avshar was given in all the Oghuz, Nadir shah isnt valued as an inexperienced ruler who didnt know what the diplomacy was, like in the works written in the former times. On the contrary, in the novel it is clearly seen that Nadir shah understood the tricky policy of the neighboring states for to make Azerbaijan and Turkey become face to face, and he didnt agree with them. In the work it has been given a broad place to Nadir shahs religious reforms. It is true, Nadir shah wasnt able to carry out till the end all those reforms, his policy of to put an end to the discrimination of faith, to unite all the Turkish world. Yunus Oghuz shows that Nadir shah wanted to put an end the difference of Shiite-Sunnite in the wholly Islam. But the conservative scientists, confessors, and the political circles that set up their power basing on the difference of faith, put up resistance to his plans. In the work, the death of the great Azerbaijani ruler has been written in an interesting form. The investigations of the last period show that the Russian intelligeliterature as a blood-sucker Iranian shah and the cruel ruler. Firstly, in the historical novel of Nadir shah written by the writer and publicist Yunus Oghuz, this mighty Azerbaijani ruler is characterized as a great statesman who lovepower after a half century after Nadir shah, were killed by the way of terror for they laid obstacles the Russians plans. It is natural, all these d his motherland, who wished the integrity of Azerbaijan and Turkish world, as a builder o
Download or read book An Introduction to Tensors and Group Theory for Physicists written by Nadir Jeevanjee and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this highly praised textbook provides an introduction to tensors, group theory, and their applications in classical and quantum physics. Both intuitive and rigorous, it aims to demystify tensors by giving the slightly more abstract but conceptually much clearer definition found in the math literature, and then connects this formulation to the component formalism of physics calculations. New pedagogical features, such as new illustrations, tables, and boxed sections, as well as additional “invitation” sections that provide accessible introductions to new material, offer increased visual engagement, clarity, and motivation for students. Part I begins with linear algebraic foundations, follows with the modern component-free definition of tensors, and concludes with applications to physics through the use of tensor products. Part II introduces group theory, including abstract groups and Lie groups and their associated Lie algebras, then intertwines this material with that of Part I by introducing representation theory. Examples and exercises are provided in each chapter for good practice in applying the presented material and techniques. Prerequisites for this text include the standard lower-division mathematics and physics courses, though extensive references are provided for the motivated student who has not yet had these. Advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics and applied mathematics will find this textbook to be a clear, concise, and engaging introduction to tensors and groups. Reviews of the First Edition “[P]hysicist Nadir Jeevanjee has produced a masterly book that will help other physicists understand those subjects [tensors and groups] as mathematicians understand them... From the first pages, Jeevanjee shows amazing skill in finding fresh, compelling words to bring forward the insight that animates the modern mathematical view...[W]ith compelling force and clarity, he provides many carefully worked-out examples and well-chosen specific problems... Jeevanjee’s clear and forceful writing presents familiar cases with a freshness that will draw in and reassure even a fearful student. [This] is a masterpiece of exposition and explanation that would win credit for even a seasoned author.” —Physics Today "Jeevanjee’s [text] is a valuable piece of work on several counts, including its express pedagogical service rendered to fledgling physicists and the fact that it does indeed give pure mathematicians a way to come to terms with what physicists are saying with the same words we use, but with an ostensibly different meaning. The book is very easy to read, very user-friendly, full of examples...and exercises, and will do the job the author wants it to do with style.” —MAA Reviews
