Bhikhu Parekh’s political thoughtRead and download the Preface by Tariq Modood and the Introduction by Varun Uberoi for free (pdf)Bhikhu Parekh’s work is widely regarded as amongst the most original and significant contributions to the political theory of multiculturalism. In this book, a selection of leading theorists of multiculturalism revisit aspects of Parekh’s work both to underline its continuing importance and the ongoing vitality of multiculturalist theory. Some contributors locate Parekh in the tradition of British pluralism or as inspired by Gandhi; some apply his theory to a range of controversial contemporary multicultural dilemmas; and others extend it in new directions. Multiculturalism Rethought is essential reading for students and scholars of multiculturalism. Or, if you think multiculturalism no longer has anything to offer, this book may lead you to reconsider.Find out moreRead and download the Preface by Tariq Modood and the Introduction by Varun Uberoi for free (pdf)'Multiculturalism Isn’t a Dirty Word' – read the blog post by Varun Uberoi on the Edinburgh University Press blogAbout the ContributorsBenjamin R.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The idea of this monograph is to present the latest results related to design and computation of engineering materials and structures. The contributions cover the classical fields of mechanical, civil and materials engineering up to biomechanics and advanced materials processing and optimization. The materials and structures covered can be categorized into modern steels and titanium alloys, composite materials, biological and natural materials, material hybrids and modern joining technologies. Analytical modelling, numerical simulation, the application of state-of-the-art design tools and sophisticated experimental techniques are applied to characterize the performance of materials and to design and optimize structures in different fields of engineering applications. |
