Sommario/riassunto

Bernard Lewis is recognized around the globe as one of the leading authorities on Islam. Hailed as ""the world's foremost Islamic scholar"" (Wall Street Journal ), as ""a towering figure among experts on the culture and religion of the Muslim world"" (Baltimore Sun ), and as ""the doyen of Middle Eastern studies"" (New York Times ), Lewis is nothing



less than a national treasure, a trusted voice that politicians, journalists, historians, and the general public have all turned to for insight into the Middle East. Now, Lewis has brought together writings on religion and government in the Middle

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights the basics of crystal optics methods and refractive index (RI) measurement techniques in various solids, as well as their scientific and technological applications. In addition to new techniques for cases when traditional techniques are impractical, such as for highly refracting powders, anomalous dispersion of light in the studied solid, or for colloids, it also describes conventional methods of RI measurement.
