Rethinking Muslim Women and the Veil Condensed Version

The need to challenge the negative stereotype of the veil as oppressive is urgent. It is on many people’s minds and the debate on whether to wear or not to wear is becoming ever more heated. This work focuses on the popular Western cultural view that the veil is oppressive for Muslim women and highlights the underlying patterns of power behind this constructed image of the veil. It examines the colonial roots of this negative stereotype and challenges the arguments of liberal feminists such as Mernissi to assert that in a culture of consumerism, the veil can be experienced as a liberation from the tyranny of the beauty myth and the thin ideal of woman

Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data


Free Download Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data by Werner Martienssen, Hans Warlimont
English | PDF (True) | 2005 | 1121 Pages | ISBN : 3540443762 | 37.3 MB
Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data provides a concise compilation of data and functional relationships from the fields of solid-state physics and materials in this 1200 page volume. The data, encapsulated in 914 tables and 1025 illustrations, have been selected and extracted primarily from the extensive high-quality data collection Landolt-Börnstein and also from other systematic data sources and recent publications of physical and technical property data. Many chapters are authored by Landolt-Börnstein editors, including the prominent Springer Handbook editors, W. Martienssen and H. Warlimont themselves.

Topological Phases in Condensed Matter Physics


Free Download Topological Phases in Condensed Matter Physics
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819953200 | 383 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 27 MB
The book is mainly designed for post-graduate students to learn modern-day condensed matter physics. While emphasizing an experiment called the ‘Quantum Hall effect’, it introduces the subject of ‘Topology’ and how the topological invariants are related to the quantization of the Hall plateaus. Thus, the content tries to deliver an account of the topological aspects of materials that have shaped the study of condensed matter physics in recent times. The subject is often quite involved for a student to grasp the fundamentals and relate them to physical phenomena. Further, these topics are mostly left out of the undergraduate curriculum, although they often require a simplistic view of the concepts involved to be presented pedagogically. The book contains examples, worked-out concepts, important derivations, diagrams for illustration, etc. to aid the understanding of the students. The book also emphasizes the experimental discoveries that put the subject in its perspective and elaborate on the applications which are likely to be of interest to scientists and engineers.

Condensed Matter Physics A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

There are many more states of matter than just solid, liquid, and gas. Examples include liquid crystal, magnet, glass, and superconductor. New states are continually, and unexpectedly, being discovered. Some states, such as superconductor, can act like Schrödinger’s cat and exhibit the weirdness normally associated with the quantum theory of atoms, photons, and electrons. Condensed matter physics seeks to understand how states of matter and their distinct physical properties emerge from the atoms of which a material is composed.
