Treats topics by extending concepts and procedures a step or two beyond elementary mechanics of materials and emphasizes the physical view -- mathematical complexity is not used where it is not needed. Includes new coverage of symmetry considerations, rectangular plates in bending, plastic action in plates, and critical speed of rotating shafts. Expands the coverage of fatigue, the reciprocal theorem, semi-inverse problems in elasticity, thermal stress, and buckling.

This survey provides a vigourous examination of the history of black America and its achievement of its civil rights, particularly in the postwar period, although the analysis goes back to the late-19th century.

Longman Pub. Group

A powerful and moving account of the campaign for civil rights in modern America. Robert Cook is concerned less with charismatic leaders like Martin Luther King, and more with the ordinary men and women who were mobilised by the grass-roots activities of civil-rights workers and community leaders. He begins with the development of segregation in the late nineteenth century, but his main focus is on the continuing struggle this century. It is a dramatic story of many achievements - even if in many respects it is also a record of unfinished business.

The American Civil War was without doubt the defining event in the history of the United States. This up-to-date analyisis of a critical period goes beyond the origins, course and consequences of the Civil War to bring in other important themes such as racial conflict, gender relations, religion, the popular memory and state formation.

In the early eighties, the second Muslim I ever met threatened to kill me because he thought I was making fun of his god while I was asking another Muslim about the first Palestinian intifada (the many suicide bombings) in Israel. Little did I know then that I would ever study Islam and the Quran and write a book about the two subjects. Muslims are "commanded" in the Quran to believe in all the books/revelations that Allah has sent down to all mankind, which include the Old and New Testaments. Though Islamic scholars and Imams teach that the Old and New Testaments are corrupted and therefore should not be studied. The Quran says nothing at all about the Word of Allah as being corrupted. In fact, the Quran states that Allah "preserves his word." So when Muslims refuse to read or study the Bible, they are rejecting the word of Allah! In this book, the Quran and the Bible are quoted throughout, covering subjects like how the Quran actually glorifies Jesus above Muhammed by declaring that Jesus was a faultless man. A faultless man is a perfect man, which is more than just a man, because no man who has ever lived on the earth has been faultless except Jesus. This book is an effort to inform all, including Muslims, about Islam and the Quran so that we may better understand the fastest growing religion in the world and to give Christians what they need to know about Islam in their efforts to reach out to Muslims.
