Free Download Continuum Mechanics Through the Twentieth Century: A Concise Historical Perspective By Gerard A Maugin (auth.)
2013 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 9400763522 | PDF | 5 MB
This overview of the development of continuum mechanics throughout the twentieth century is unique and ambitious. Utilizing a historical perspective, it combines an exposition on the technical progress made in the field and a marked interest in the role played by remarkable individuals and scientific schools and institutions on a rapidly evolving social background. It underlines the newly raised technical questions and their answers, and the ongoing reflections on the bases of continuum mechanics associated, or in competition, with other branches of the physical sciences, including thermodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the development of a more realistic modeling of deformable solids and the exploitation of new mathematical tools. The book presents a balanced appraisal of advances made in various parts of the world. The author contributes his technical expertise, personal recollections, and international experience to this general overview, which is very informative albeit concise.

Free Download Arash Ghajarjazi, "Irrationalities in Islam and Media in Nineteenth-Century Iran: Faces of Modernity "
English | ISBN: 9087283989 | 2022 | 204 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book deals for the first time with the cultural history of media in nineteenth-century Iran, a history that deals with how modern techniques of representation and communication were received in the Iranian Shi.a society. This reception history is examined in religious photography, military reforms, Persian passion plays, Shi.a medicine, and the burgeoning telegraphic culture. The problematic relationship between Sh..a Islam and 19th-century media is conceptualised and contextualised, especially through the lens of the first Polytechnique college (D.r al-Fonun, 1851) in Iran. This college is conceptualised as a media laboratory, where the technological sphere in Iran was fundamentally transforming. It is also contextualised in the age of reform, a period in which the Middle East was undergoing widespread social, political, and military changes. Islamic (art) history, Iranian Studies, and cultural analysis form an interdisciplinary analytic framework to create new knowledge about the historical complexity of 19th-century Iran.

Free Download Functional Analysis on the Eve of the 21st Century: Volume I In Honor of the Eightieth Birthday of I.M. Gelfand By Kazuhiko Aomoto (auth.), Simon Gindikin, James Lepowsky, Robert L. Wilson (eds.)
1995 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1461287138 | PDF | 22 MB
These two volumes contain eighteen invited papers by distinguished mathematicians in honor of the eightieth birthday of Israel M. Gelfand, one of the most remarkable mathematicians of our time. Gelfand has played a crucial role in the development of functional analysis during the last half-century. His work and his philosophy have in fact helped shape our understanding of the term ‘functional analysis’. The papers in these volumes largely concern areas in which Gelfand has a very strong interest today, including geometric quantum field theory, representation theory, combinatorial structures underlying various ‘continuous’ constructions, quantum groups and geometry.The second of the two volumes contains the somewhat more ‘geometric’ papers, although such a designation is to a certain extent arbitrary, because of the breadth of the papers.

Free Download Rupert J. Ederer, "Economics as if God Matters: Over a Century of Papal Teaching Addressed to the Economic Order"
English | 2011 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 0810877988 | PDF | 22,3 mb
In this revised and expanded edition of Economics as if God Matters, Rupert J. Ederer brings forward to the present his classic assessment of how papal social teachings address economic questions from the end of the 19th century. Noting how "economic order reflects economic philosophies, which, in turn, mirror the basic philosophies" and even theologies, Ederer explores the papal perspective on economics and its place in human affairs. Through the study of social encyclicals issued since 1891, Ederer illustrates the "organic development of doctrine" on economic matters through his detection of a series of common principles.

What happens when the world around us feels fragmented? How can a person continue to respond positively to their environment when it seems to have lost its internal coherence? These questions lie at the heart of this innovative interpretation of some of the most influential German philosophers of the twentieth century. The key figures in this study are the young Georg Lukács (1885-1971), Ernst Jünger (1895-1998), Ernst Bloch (1885-1977), Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), Max Kommerell (1902-1944), and Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966).
