Islam and feminism are often thought of as incompatible. Through a
vivid ethnography of Muslim and secular women activists in Jakarta,
Indonesia, Rachel Rinaldo shows that this is not always the case.
Examining a feminist NGO, Muslim women's organizations, and a
Muslim political party, Rinaldo reveals that democratization and
the Islamic revival in Indonesia are shaping new forms of personal
and political agency for women. These unexpected kinds of agency
draw on different approaches to interpreting religious texts and
facilitate different repertoires of collective action - one
oriented toward rights and equality, the other toward more public
moral regulation. As Islam becomes a primary source of meaning and
identity in Indonesia, some women activists draw on Islam to argue
for women's empowerment and equality, while others use Islam to
advocate for a more Islamic nation. Mobilizing Piety demonstrates
that religious and feminist agency can coexist and even overlap,
often in creative ways. "Rachel Rinaldo gives us a richly
documented and path-breaking study of how Muslim women in Indonesia
draw on both Islam and feminism to argue and imagine political and
social changes. Her findings go against a pervasive view of the
incompatibility of Islam and feminism: she finds that these very
diverse global discourses can in fact work together towards
desirable political outcomes."-Saskia Sassen, Columbia University,
and author of A Sociology of Globalization "This original study
conducted in the world's largest Muslim-majority country strikes me
as one of the most interesting and important works on Islam and
women in recent years. Rather than pit secularists against
religious-minded activists in debates over women's rights, Rachel
Rinaldo shows that the major divide in contemporary Indonesia - as
in much of the Muslim world - is more complex, and centers on
struggles over what it means to be a Muslim, a woman, and an
Indonesian."-Robert Hefner, Professor of Anthropology, Boston

Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Storage: Challenges and
Opportunities, Volume Nineteen provides an objective, realistic
overview on the use of nanomaterials for various rechargeable
electrochemical energy storage systems. It delivers a clear message
on opportunities and critical aspects for the application of
nanomaterials in currently available commercial devices (i.e.,
lithium-ion, supercapacitors, lithium-ion capacitors) and in the
most promising battery technologies (e.g., lithium-sulphur,
sodium-ion, metal-air, multivalent-ion batteries, dual-ion). In
addition, it covers the use of nanomaterials on two of the most
promising research pathways, specifically solid electrolytes and
nanostructured alkali metal interfaces. Finally, the book outlines
future use scenarios in developed and industrial applications.
Nanomaterials have been considered as the "holy grail" of
electrochemical energy storage during recent decades. Compounds and
composites made of nanomaterials have opened unexpected research
avenues, allowing entirely new classes of materials to be explored.
Put in your hands the keys of knowledge, power and love for your
happiness and venture. These lessons should be prepared for an
extensive internal course comprising 365 weeks or 7 years,
requiring a real INITIATION INTERNAL. Ye shall know that-I 'M- is
the presence of GOD in EVERY HUMAN. One should never forget this. I
am (it) life, light, SUBSTANCE, intelligence and activity (in him
we live, we move and there be), unconsciously. The goal of these
practices is to prepare ourselves to consciously feel our Union
with the father-I 'M- God INTIMATE. When God give life to the Human
kind, He gives for ever, for the Eternity with 144 years. And when
you die before these years, you go to one of the Samsara wheel.
Which can be the level of the animal, or the level of the vegetable
or the mineral level, and you stay there until the 144 years
finish. And thereafter you start again until you accomplish the all
144 years. That is what the Psalm 144 talking about.

engineering and engineering surveying to discuss new technologies,
their applicability, and operability.
A colourful, write-in book featuring a multitude of multiplication
puzzles, encouraging children to learn and remember their times
tables. Kids can go through each table in turn - with plenty of
opportunities to practise each one - before testing themselves with
quick quizzes and completing a treasure map which requires all
their times tables skills. This is the first title in a new Maths
Activity Books Series, to be followed by Adding and Subtracting,
Fractions, and Telling the Time. This write-in activity book,
filled with loads of illustrated activities and scenes, will help
you practise your times tables. Each double spread has a different
theme to tie the activities together. There are two spreads of
stickers, some of which are used in the activites, some are used as
rewards for the 'Test yourself' page. Illustrations: Full colour

This comprehensive textbook is intended for a two-semester
sequence in analysis. The first four chapters present a practical
introduction to analysis by using the tools and concepts of
calculus.The last five chapters present a first course in analysis.
The presentation is clear and concise, allowing students to master
the calculus tools that are crucial in understanding analysis.
"From Calculus to Analysis "prepares readers for their first
analysis course-important because many undergraduate programs
traditionally require such a course. Undergraduates and some
advanced high-school seniors will find this text a useful and
pleasant experience in the classroom or as a self-study guide. The
only prerequisite is a standard calculus course."
There's a lot to be discussed when it comes to men's fashion, which
is why I've taken more of a helpful how-to approach, rather than a
mandatory must-do. Think of it as a series of building blocks: with
each chapter you read, you will build on the knowledge gained from
the previous ones. I think of clothing as components from which you
can assemble the mix that best suits your personality, body,
budget, and lifestyle. The indispensable advice in this book will
help you gain an understanding of how the different elements of
dressing all relate and how you can use them to develop a polished
and confident sense of personal style.
This book presents high-quality original contributions on the
fashion supply chain. A wide spectrum of application domains are
covered, processing of big data coming from digital and social
media channels, fashion new product development, fashion design,
fashion marketing and communication strategy, business models and
entrepreneurship, e-commerce and omni-channel management, corporate
social responsibility, new materials for fashion product, wearable
technologies. The contents are based on presentations delivered at
IT4Fashion 2017, the 7th International Conference in Business
Models and ICT Technologies for the Fashion Supply Chain, which was
held in Florence, Italy, in April 2017, and at IT4Fashion 2018, the
8th edition of the same conference, which was held in Florence,
Italy, in April 2018. This conference series represents a targeted
response to the growing need for research that reports and debates
supply chain business models and technologies applied to the
fashion industry, with the aim of increasing knowledge in the area
of product lifecycle management and supply chain management in that
industry.

Web-based offerings in manu academic disciplines are redefining the
educational landscape. In this book, Reinaldo Canton assesses the
importance of learner activity in computer programmed instruction.
This research explores the practical relation between the learner's
behavior and the method of delivery of lesson content. Programmed
Instruction in Online Learning is a timely and important book as
online instruction becomes increasingly predominant in the
education environment.
This book is devoted to the study of the interplay between
religious rules and State law. It explores how State recognition of
religious rules can affect the degree of legal diversity that is
available to citizens and why such recognition sometime results in
more individual and collective freedom and sometime in a threat to
equality of citizens before the law. The first part of the book
contains a few contributions that place this discussion within the
wider debate on legal pluralism. While State law and religious
rules are two normative systems among many others, the specific
characteristics of the latter are at the heart of tensions that
emerge with increasing frequency in many countries. The second part
is devoted to the analysis of about twenty national cases that
provide an overview of the different tools and strategies that are
employed to manage the relationship between State law and religious
rules all over the world.
