(The rigorous development process used to create Mechanics...)
The rigorous development process used to create Mechanics for Engineers: Statics by Das, Kassimali & Sami insures that it is accessible and accurate. Each draft was scrutinized to suggest enhancements, flush out any flaws and improve content, approach, realism, and homework problems to insure that Mechanics for Engineers: Statics reflects the real needs of teaching professionals. The authors worked out solutions to all of their homework and example problems to check for accuracy and consistency. Then, all of the examples and homework problems were sent out to reviewers to solve and cross-check each answer. This text also has a complete solutions manual with typeset problems and teaching masters of key examples and figures. KEY FEATURES: --Numerous step-by-step examples demonstrate the correspondence between the FBD (FREE BODY DIAGRAM) and the mathematical analysis --Procedures for Analysis sections show students how to set up and solve a problem using FBDs to promote a consistent and methodical problem-solving approach (See sec. 3.19, 4.11 and 10.4) --Contains more than 900 homework problems graded from simple to complex and are well balanced tests of theory and practical application --A short review section and key terms at the end of each chapter promote the understanding of new concepts

("The Agony of the Kemalist Republic and the Rise of a Fas...)
"The Agony of the Kemalist Republic and the Rise of a Fascist-Naqshibendi Brotherhood presents, in vivid terms, the slow undoing of all the reforms introduced by the immortal Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkish Republic. Today Turkey is facing a most daunting challenge mounted by a corrupt religious party usurping the police powers at its disposal and aiming to reverse the course of the past eighty years. A sham democracy cannot solve Turkey’s critical problems: in the east, a tribal and feudal society within which abject poverty reigns and in the west, powerful conglomerates with international partnerships dominate the business world. Everywhere an army of unemployed, young and old, is hoping for better days… Against great odds the fight for secular education, for full employment, for women empowerment, and for social justice has to go on."

(Silent Capitulations: The Kemalist Republic Under Assault...)
Silent Capitulations: The Kemalist Republic Under Assault brings to life the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Turkish political life. It paints an uncompromising picture of a regime determined to appease European skeptics of Turkish adhesion to the European Union by capitulating to their demands on all fronts. Turkey’s inability to unite its eastern and western parts is attributed to the dominance of an oligarchy of feudal lords, tribal chiefs, big business, and a ruling class who all masquerade as if they are part of a functioning democracy. Suffering from the ravages of tribal conformity and tainted by corruption and cronyism, the society is showing signs of an astonishing degree of deterioration. When municipal governments are a relic of the past and taxation is a tangle of dysfunctional measures, when justice is crippled by archaic arrangements and a web of vested interests control corporations—the nation is indeed under attack. Using arguments developed through the use of events and anecdotes, author Sedat Sami offers a deep examination of the Turkish social and political scene as well as a dramatic account of the Islamist onslaught against the Kemalist Republic.
