"Francis Xavier Clooney (Parkman Professor of Divinity at Harvard University) is widely considered a leading figure in comparative theology not only for his ground-breaking contribution to the development of this field, but also for being a mentor and a true inspiration to many scholars. The proposed volume aims to celebrate the remarkable career and contribution of Prof. Clooney's work bringing together for the first time a stellar cast of comparative theologians whose work has been inspired and/or influenced by Clooney's studies (including former students from both Harvard and Boston). This edited work, published as part of the Wiley Blackwell Companions to Religion series, is intended as a collection of essays in honour of Prof. Clooney as well a review on the current status and future development of comparative theology and its related disciplines (such as interreligious studies and comparative religion). Organised in seven sections, it consists of more than fifty original contributions written by international scholars at any level (from established tenured professors to promising doctoral students). The essays encompass a broad range of themes and topics: from issues of comparative methodologies and motivations to comparative pedagogy and "real-life" experience; from critical, theoretical, and methodological reflections on the field of comparative theology to cutting-edge historical research related to the field, unique exercises in comparative theology, constructive appraisals of Clooney's scholarship, and more. This unique collaborative project is expected to mark a major contribution to the academic community. More than merely a Festschrift, this volume extends the fields of comparative religion and theology while it pays homage, reflects upon, and critiques Clooney and his oeuvre"--

Weet je wie de evolutietheorie bedacht? Heb je je ooit afgevraagd wie de oudste universiteit ter wereld heeft opgericht? En heb je het ongelooflijke verhaal gehoord van de gemaskerde ridder – een rebels meisje dat militair bevelhebber werd? Maak kennis met de verbazingwekkende moslimmannen en -vrouwen die onze wereld hebben veranderd – van piratenkoninginnen en atleten tot krijgers en wetenschappers. Je komt mensen tegen die je misschien kent, zoals Sir MO FARAH, MUHAMMAD ALI en NADIYA HUSSAIN,maar ook mensen die je misschien nog niet kent, zoals MUHAMMAD IBN MUSA AL-KHWARIZMI (de grondlegger van algebra), SULTAN RAZIA (een echte Mulan) en dr. HAWA ABDI (een felle mensenrechtenactivist). Moedige Moslims bevat prachtige illustraties, leuke doe-het-zelfactiviteiten en biedt je een schat aan verhalen die je meenemen op een onvergetelijke reis. (bron: covertekst)

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In this panoramic new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow's claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world.

This open access book is devoted to the theoretical and experimental studies of a novel accelerator light source mechanism called steady-state microbunching (SSMB) which promises high-power, high-repetition rate, narrow-band coherent radiation in an electron storage ring. The contribution of this dissertation consists of three parts: first, answers the question of how to realize SSMB from a beam dynamics perspective; second, reveals what radiation characteristics can we obtain from the formed SSMB; and third, experimentally demonstrates the working mechanism of SSMB in a real machine for the first time. The highlights of this book can be summarized as: Presents the first proof-of-principle experiment of a promising accelerator light source mechanism; Covers precision longitudinal and transverse-longitudinal coupling dynamics in a storage ring; Provides useful formulas and example parameters for high-power infrared, EUV and soft X-ray light source design. .

This open access book covers novel techniques and materials for removing inclusions in metallic melts, resulting in significant improvements to the purity, quality, and materials properties of the cast metal product. It looks at an entirely new generation of intelligent filter materials and filter systems with functionalized surfaces for removing solid and liquid inclusions such as deoxidation products, sulfides, and nitrides carbide from metallic melts. This collection of contributed chapters addresses the overarching goal of the production of lightweight structures and high-demand construction materials within an overall substantially cleaner and more sustainable global supply chain. The chapters cover a diverse array of topics ranging in scope from the development of ceramic foam filters, to in-situ x-ray and optical characterization techniques, as well as advanced modelling of 3D-printed filter structures. Additionally, the book features a number of contributions directly transferable to industrial applications related to the clean metal casting technologies of aluminium and steel alloys.

This is a research book centered on quantum-mechanical scattering in macroscopic targets, which may lead to coherent scattering on a macroscopic scale. Specific conditions for the occurrence of coherent scattering are formulated. X- and gamma rays, neutron and neutrino scattering, and electron scattering are examined, as well as light scattering and the Moessbauer effect. Coherence domains are introduced, and their role in scattering is explored. The momentum and energy transfer to the target, as well as the force acting upon the target are emphasized, for both atomic and macroscopic targets. The book addresses a wide readership of researchers, in both experimental and theoretical physics, with an interest in a new area of research in particle scattering by macroscopic targets.

This book covers a broad range of interdisciplinary topics, focusing on atoms and molecules in intense laser fields, excitation processes in intense laser fields, photonics and materials, high-order harmonics generation, XFEL, high-power lasers and their applications, and quantum computing. This seventeenth volume features contributions from world-renowned researchers on topics such as applications of attosecond and femtosecond laser pulses, coherence and dynamics in quantum systems, and applications of super-intense laser fields. The PUILS series delivers up-to-date reviews of progress in this emerging interdisciplinary research field, spanning atomic and molecular physics, molecular science, and optical science, which has been stimulated by the recent developments in ultrafast laser technologies. Each volume compiles peer-reviewed articles authored by researchers at the forefront of each of their own subfields of ultrafast intense laser science. Every chapter opens with an overview of the topics to be discussed, so that researchers unfamiliar with the subfield, especially graduate students, can grasp the importance and attractions of the research topic at hand; these are followed by reports of cutting-edge discoveries.

Dès l’ouverture de son livre, Maggie Nelson souligne cette contradiction au centre de tous les débats actuels entre le soin (care) et la liberté. Quelle notion plus caractéristique des oppositions à l’œuvre dans nos sociétés que celle de liberté, idéal revendiqué comme un cri de ralliement par des camps que tout oppose ? L’obsession collective pour la notion de liberté est-elle toujours synonyme d’émancipation, ou d’un nihilisme de plus en plus profond ? Dans cette réflexion amplement documentée, articulée autour de quatre thématiques (l’art, la sexualité, l’addiction aux drogues et l’écologie), Maggie Nelson déploie une manière originale de penser et d’interroger notre propre liberté. Avec une écriture juste et singulière, elle nous invite à creuser et questionner nos propres évidences.
