Intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in electrical engineering and physics, this text presents a science-oriented, mathematically complete, and unified approach to the study of field theory and electromagnetics. To facilitate a detailed development of the theoretical material, the authors reject the traditional historical "case study" approach in favor of the theory's logical development, followed by examples that illuminate facets of the theory. The book may be divided into three parts: field analysis, basic electromagnetic theory, and applications. Basic laws and concepts — along with their implications — are thoroughly discussed before detailed mathematical analysis is undertaken. In addition to rigorous treatments of all relevant derivations and proofs, appropriate emphasis is placed upon the physical significance of mathematical operations.
In this thoroughly researched account, Mansour Bonakdarian provides an in-depth exploration of the substantial British support for the Iranian constitutional and national struggle of 1906-1911, illuminating the opposition in Britain to Anglo-Russian imperialist intervention in Iran. In painstaking and compelling detail Bonakdarian analyzes, in particular, the role of the Persia Committee, a lobbying group founded in 1908 for the sole purpose of changing Britain's policy toward Iran. This book's strength lies in its coverage of how Sir Edward Grey's policy toward Iran was shaped and the extent to which this policy was affected by sustained criticism from a number of disparate groups including dissenters, radicals, socialists, liberal imperialists, and conservatives. The volume and breadth of primary archival materials used is extensive. Not only have all the standard collections been examined, such as the Foreign Office files and the Cabinet and Grey papers, but also numerous private archives in international libraries have been consulted. Bonakdarian's deep understanding of the Iranian issues yields a rich and balanced approach to the literature in the field. With clear and systematic arguments, he offers an account of diplomatic history that is accessible and persuasive. His scholarship is certain to reinvigorate dialogue on the subject of Anglo-Iranian relations.

How does a regular young man from Cairo grow up hating Jews? How does he free his mind from that hatred and ultimately free himself, even at the risk of losing his life? What do pivotal world events like 9/11, the rise of the Information Age, and the Arab Spring look like through his eyes?Minority Of One takes the reader along on the transformative journey of Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, an outspoken Egyptian political dissident who was raised in a conservative Egyptian Muslim family, obsessed with antisemitic hatred of Jews. In his teenage years, after questioning these attitudes, he decided to learn Hebrew which enabled him to see Jews, Israel, and Arab-Jewish relations in a very different light. His new opinions resulted in clashes with Egyptian security agencies as well as with his family. Jailed and tortured for his activities, Hussein participated in the Egyptian Tahrir Square revolution in 2011 and sought asylum in the United States in 2012.About the author, Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, born in 1989 in Cairo, Egypt received a conservative Muslim education and grew up religiously devout originally wanting to become a jihadist. While witnessing the creeping radicalization of society he developed his own personal beliefs, pursuing with strength and determination the right to live freely. He participated in the Arab Spring protests in 2011 and soon afterward sought political asylum in the United States which was granted in 2014. Hussein has since served as an Assistant Professor of Hebrew Language at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, became a U.S citizen in 2017, served in the U.S Army Reserve, and is currently a public speaker, a blogger and an advocate for peace and education."As an avid reader, I have rarely, if ever, read such a compelling and beautifully written book. Minority of One is an autobiography that takes you into the mind of a brilliant young man, whose journey from a would-be jihadist to a potential professor who sees the beauty and value in all of mankind. Through a very circuitous route, Hussein Aboubakr grew to challenge the all-pervasive propaganda in his native Egypt, driving her citizens to hate the United States, the state of Israel and the Jewish people. His deeply inquisitive intellect led him to interrogations, imprisonments and torture, until finally being granted political asylum and arriving on these shores. This book is an absolutely gripping page-turner. It is the first from this young, deeply gifted writer with a radiant mind. I hope it will not be the last."Sarah N.
