ISBN: 9781933823041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Tales of Two Cities is an engrossing, cross-cultural memoir of revolution and exile. It is the story of a fifteen year-old Persian boy sent for his eduction from an old-world, pre-oil boom Tehran, to the new-world, avant-garde San Francisco of the 1960s.

The Shah
ISBN: 9780230340381 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Though his monarchy was toppled in 1979 and he died in 1980, Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlevi, the last Shah of Iran, remains relevant today. He was a social reformer, a romantic egomaniac, and a deeply conflicted man and leader. Here, internationally respected author Abbas Milani gives us the definitive biography, more than ten years in the making, of the monarch who shaped Iran's modern age and with it the contemporary politics of the Middle East. The Shah's was a life filled with contradiction--he built schools, increased equality for women, and greatly reduced the power of the Shia clergy....

Model Identification of Textile Composites
ISBN: 9783639059168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Numerical simulation of forming processes has become an important means for material selection, tool design, and process optimization. A critical component of simulation is an accurate material constitutive model, describing the response of the material under possible modes of deformation. The accuracy, in turn, is linked to the tests and techniques applied for the identification of constitutive models. This book elaborates on the identification of textile composite models using a new inverse method by means of a signal-to-noise weighting scheme, and two constitutive equations based on a...

The Road to Democracy in Iran - stan bdb 9780262072953
ISBN: A780262072953 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Stan bardzo dobry - książka była czytana, ale jeszcze długo posłuży innym czytelnikom. Ma ślady używania - otwierania i kartkowania, rysy, zabrudzenia. Wygląda jak książka, którą wypożyczasz w bibliotece.
Akbar Ganji, called by some "Iran's most famous dissident," was a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But, troubled by the regime's repressive nature, he became an investigative journalist in the 1990s, writing for Iran's pro-democracy newspapers. Most notably, he traced the murders of dissident intellectuals to Iran's secret service. In 2000 Ganji was arrested,...

Persian Sphinx: Amir Abbas Hoveyda and the Riddle of the Iranian Revolution
ISBN: 9781850433286 / Angielski / Book / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Amir Abbas Hoveyda was an Iranian intellectual, more comfortable with Sartre than with the classical Persian poet Saadi, who rose to become his country's Prime Minister, faithfully and for 13 years serving his king. The tragic Shakespearian tale of Hoveyda, who allowed himself to be seduced by the illusion of power, makes for fascinating reading. This work provides a narrative which illuminates the life of Iran's most pivotal and enigmatic 20th century figures but also sheds important light on Iran's late 20th century history.

Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum Alloys
ISBN: 9783639707731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The main objective of this book is a novel integrated multiphysics modeling, testing, and optimization of friction stir welding (FSW) for aluminum alloys, and thereby facilitating a better understating of processing-microstructure-properties relationships in this relatively new welding technique. To this end, first we review various models and optimization methods used in the field of FSW. Next, based on a validated thermal model for aluminum 6061 we explain determining parameters in the resulting mechanical properties of FSW welds. Then, we develop and validate a novel two-dimensional...
