How do you know? Reading Ziauddin Sardar on Islam, science and cultural relations.
No full textZiauddin Sardar is one of the world's leading public intellectuals. A broadcaster and cultural commentator, he is the author of over 40 books. His co-authored book Why Do People Hate America? was an international bestseller, and his autobiography, Desperately Seeking Paradise received wide acclaim. Since 9/11 he has been an important Muslim voice in mainstream western media.
This book is the perfect introduction to his thinking that brings together some of his key writings in one volume. It provides extracts from many of his most acclaimed books, from his early writing right through to his latest thinking. Organised in clear chapters, the extracts are carefully chosen to explore the themes of Islam, science and cultural relations.
Drawn from a wide range of sources, this Zia Sardar reader is an accessible introduction to the thinking of one of the leading cultural theorists of our time
Petualangan intelektual al-Ghazali dan Sardar dalam mencari kebenaran
No full textFor the real intellectuals, truth is a search, a journey, a couse, an endeavor.
They believe that truth can only be attained through series of painstaking process. The
autobiographies of al-Ghaza>li> and Sardar are fine illustrations of this kind of search for
thruth. Although al-Ghaza>li> and Sardar are separated by ten centuries, one can find
clear parallels in antomy and procedures of their journeys in seeking truth. The present
author attempts to analyse thes
To the History of Iranism Sardar in the Russian Literary and Documentary Reception
No full textThe article is devoted to consideration of iranism sardar in the language of Russian artistic and documentary literature. The author comes to the conclusion that despite of full grammatical adaptation in Russian, the word sardar has not developed semantically and remained as an oriental exoticism
Breaking the mould: essays, articles and columns on Islam, India, terror and other things that annoy me.
No full textZiauddin Sardar is one of the world’s leading Muslim intellectuals and author of more than forty books on science, religion and contemporary culture. Breaking the Monolith, a collection of his essays and articles published in western journals, involves issues of terrorism and representation, the arrogance of American power, the dumbing power of mass culture, and of monolithic thought, in all its guises, from East and West. And, inevitably, they deal with the loss of innocence, with Islam and South Asia, and the collective failure of imagination
What do Muslims believe? the roots and realities of modern Islam
No full textPresents readers with an explanation of the roots and beliefs of Islam, and seeks to provide an objective view of this often misinterpreted religion. Author Ziauddin Sardar explains what makes a Muslim; where Muslims come from and who they are today; what, exactly, they believe and how they reflect those beliefs; and where Islam is headed. Includes a chronology of Islamic history from A.D. 632 to the present, a glossary of terms, selections from the Qur'an and the Hadith, as well as list of further readin

On steady two-dimensional Carreau fluid flow over a wedge in the presence of infinite shear rate viscosity
No full textOn steady two-dimensional Carreau fluid flow over a wedge in the presence of infinite shear rate viscosity
No full textThis paper investigates the steady two-dimensional flow over a moving/static wedge in a Carreau viscosity model with infinite shear rate viscosity. Additionally, heat transfer analysis is performed. Using suitable transformations, nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg method coupled with the shooting technique. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity and temperature distributions are displayed graphically and discussed qualitatively. A comparison with the earlier reported results has been made with an excellent agreement. It is important to note that the increasing values of the wedge angle parameter enhance the fluid velocity while the opposite trend is observed for the temperature field for both shear thinning and thickening fluids. Generally, our results reveal that the velocity and temperature distributions are marginally influenced by the viscosity ratio parameter. Further, it is noted that augmented values of viscosity ratio parameter thin the momentum and thermal boundary layer thickness in shear thickening fluid and reverse is true for shear thinning fluid. Moreover, it is noticed that the velocity in case of moving wedge is higher than static wedge. Keywords: Static/moving wedge, Carreau viscosity model, Heat transfer analysis, Numerical computation
Freely available online information sources and their impact on libraries and information centres
No full textSince past few years free online information sources like e-journals, e-books, e-data- bases have increased cnsiderably. The traditional library systems are going to transform into digital library systems and different projects like Gutenberg e-book project, Virginia Tech. Digital Library Project, University of California Digital Library project etc. have been undertaken. The author has started to compile the links of such freely available online information sources on the Internet at URL: http://www.geocities.com/ ghosh_tbd and described the same in this paper. The paper also describes the impact on collection development, budget and technical processing etc. of the Library and Information centre
Scrutinization of 2D and mixed convection flow of generalized Newtonian fluid with nanoparticles and magnetic field
No full textIn this research paper we focuses on presenting the local non-similar solutions for two-dimensional steady and mixed convective flow of electrically conducting Carreau nano-fluid under the influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. This research paper also present the new mass flux boundary condition of nanoparticles. The governing partial differential equations are converted into the ordinary differential equations by using the local non-similar transformations named as Sparrow-Quack-Boerner local non-similar method. A numerical approach is used to investigate the local nonsimilar solutions of the entire problem. Outcomes for the skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer have been obtained and discussed for parametric variations of the buoyancy parameter ξ, Magnetic parameter M, Weissenberg number We, viscosity ratio parameter β^{∗}, Brownian motion parameter N_{b}, thermophoresis parameter N_{t}, Prandtl number Pr and Schmidt number Sc. From the obtained results a considerable increase in the skin friction coefficient is observed with the increase in buoyancy parameter ξ. Also ξ shows the relative growth for the momentum and concentration profiles.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
