The present research was conducted with the aim of criticizing the book "Introductions to Educational Technology". In this regard, using the educational critical research method, the book written by Khadija Aliabadi, 16th edition of 2019, was criticized. The tool for data collection was the academic textbook review worksheet of the Council for the Review of Texts and Books of Human Sciences. After receiving and completing the sample sheets, the qualitative content analysis method was used to analyze the data. According to the findings, the advantages of the book include appropriate design in terms of volume and shape, calligraphy, good quality of printing and binding, smooth text and simplicity of content, compatibility with Iranian Islamic values, and use of reliable scientific sources. Also, the results showed the shortcomings of the form and content of the book including the oldness of the content and resources, especially in the section related to media, lack of coverage of the latest topics considered by the Ministry of Science, weakness in analyzing and criticizing the content, lack of innovation and creativity in content design and coverage, being free of common scientific content in the field of educational technology.

The purpose of this study is to review the book “Theoretical Foundations of Educational Technology” authored by Dr. Hashem Fardanesh. For this reason, the book's two dimensions of form and content have been critically explored. Observance of writing and spelling rules, fluency of the text, English-Persian dictionary, and thematic index can be considered as the apparent advantages of the mentioned work. However, providing a preface, stating the main purpose of the work, introduction, and objectives of each chapter, summarizing, questions to evaluate the audience and more appropriate design of the cover can help make it more desirable in appearance. In terms of content, this work has advantages such as logical order and internal coherence, attention to the basics of this field, appropriate phrase choices, and attention to credible sources. Update the definition of educational technology, and provide content related to the concepts of systems, learning, and performance; Uniformity of citation style, clearer presentation of some drawers, and appropriate styling of titles can enrich this book's content. In general, this work is a valuable work for the initial acquaintance with the theoretical foundations of educational technology, and to some extent, it can acquaint the readers with the general and basic frameworks of this field.

As a result of the growth and development of communication and information technologies, as well as the increasing use of smart tools connected to the Internet, a huge amount of digital data is produced every moment. Human resource (HR) analytics is necessary for the intelligent use of this data to improve Human Resource Management (HRM) decisions. HR analytics has descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive types introduced as analytics maturity models. Considering the HR analytics maturity model and the five functions of Human Resource Management, this article uses the systematic implication research method to review and criticize the book “Data-Driven HR: How to Use Analytics and Metrics to Drive Performance” by Bernard Marr. This book is translated into Persian by Pirannejad and Faraji Jobedar. The implications show that the book can be improved by enriching the scientific theoretical foundations of HRM topics. In addition, this could be improved through closer attention to the levels of HR analytics.

The present article reviews Jones “Macroeconomics”, translated by Jahangard and Keramatfar. In this regard, an attempt has been made to examine the book in terms of content and translation using an analytical-descriptive method. Content analysis of the work indicates its usefulness for teaching at the university. Introducing the DSGE model in a fluent and simple way for undergraduate students, which is described with a practical example, is the most important achievement of the book. Also, the concepts of macroeconomics are presented simply and according to the revealed facts. Lack of attention to solving numerical examples as well as expressing different economic schools and the role of books in this regard are among the shortcomings of the main text. Publishing a book in Persian is valuable because of the analysis of the new Keynesian approach. However, translating a book has many drawbacks that in some cases make it difficult to read and understand. In addition, parts of the original version that are necessary to understand the content have not been translated. Therefore, it is suggested that the translated text be re-edited.

Criticism and study of literary works, especially those that deal with specific types of literary types and have gained a lot of acceptability among linguists, is of great value. In the meantime, reviewing and criticizing valuable works such as "Mjm'a Al'amthal" Book by Abolfazl Meydani, which was written in the early periods of compiling Arabic literature, to prevent the change, distortion, and destruction of the valuable heritage of proverbs, to collect, describe and explaining such language becomes double. In this regard, the present study intends to provide a more profound and scientific knowledge of this valuable work in structural critique and the descriptive-analytical method. Existence of a coherent plan in arranging this work and paying attention to the expertise and scientific and linguistic ability of the author in framing the internal structure, selection, description, and explanation of proverbs using Quranic evidence, poems, narrations, stories, lexical dictionaries, show the strength of the scientific and citation aspect of the book and a unique style and awareness in arranging the book following the diversity of tastes of the audience and it has justified ignorance of some shortcomings of this work. It has made it a unique work among its peers using its linguistic and cultural backgrounds in strengthening the linguistic, historical, and cultural heritage of the Arab people.

"Sport and Media, an Applied Approach" is a book for physical education students and sports communication enthusiasts, written by Hamid Ghasemi and Loghman Keshavarz. The research method was a critical philosophical exploration based on the critique of educational criticism. The experience and expertise of the authors guarantee readers' confidence in the book's content. The book is valuable for readers and most undergraduates of physical education. Comprehensible and simple text with suitable sentence structure, which helps to convey the message to the readers, is the most valuable point of the book. The book's contents, beginning with the introduction of basic concepts, definitions, and foundations and gradually leading to specialized and applied content and ultimately to the effects of the environment, including culture, rules, and policymakers on media performance, indicate a desirable order and logical relevance of the book's contents. There are some writing problems in Persian grammar due to the poor technical performance of the publisher and the book's editor. It can be a unique book, not only for the students but also for all who are interested in sports and media, just if the form and grammatical structure are reviewed and corrected.

Writing and introducing university resources to improve the academic level of students is one of the most important tasks of university teachers. Meanwhile, disciplines such as handicrafts and Islamic arts, which were approved by the Cultural Revolution Council after the revolution as a discipline appropriate to Iranian-Islamic culture, have felt this shortcoming more than other disciplines of humanities and arts. Over the last two decades, some professors, in sporadic activities without comprehensive supervision, have written educational texts and books to alleviate some of the burden of this problem. In the meantime, scientific critique and analysis of textbooks will be one of the effective ways to guide the writing of authentic, credible and acceptable sources.In this article, an attempt is made to introduce the book "Introduction to Traditional Arts (3)" and to critique it in terms of its formal structure and content analysis. The result of this critical view shows that inattention to new research methods, carelessness in the method of writing, repetition of content based on previous texts and similar sources, and finally a superficial look at concepts that require an approach based on Content analysis, does not place this book for students to use in the field of authoritative academic resources.

Thought reviews and critiques of thought go back to ancient Greece and Aristotle's Poetry. Criticism aims to refine the public taste and educate the author's thought; in the meantime, critique of the books can also improve the quality of content and beauty. This study investigates the book Analysis of the Immaculate Conception of the Qur'an in the Teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah based on the analytical-descriptive method. The weaknesses include lack of compelling title, typographical errors in the form of inaccuracies in the citation, ambiguity, repetition, generalization, lack of reference to the necessity of research, and lack of footing. The reason for this is that some content is basic and there is no innovation in the content category. At the same time, it has the following strengths: beautiful calligraphy with good handwriting, annotations, and many footnotes that sometimes show up in vague descriptions of words and expressions, and beautiful layouts. Besides, the design on the cover could be much more beautiful than it is, for example, a picture of the miracle of the creation of the heavens or a picture of the staff of Moses, which turns into a dragon. Regarding the content, it also has strong points such as: coherence and logical order of the contents and its sequence and specialized view on the subject of miracles.

The research method is one of the fundamental courses that has been grown well in recent decades and has been well received; but unfortunately, despite the emphasis today on the research method and its proper application in various fields of science, we are witnessing less attention to this issue and its methods and principles in student research. Since most universities focus on research and research programs, they try to increase the student's awareness and knowledge of research methods in specialized fields. The book Concise of the Approach to Scientific Research on Education and Anthropology written by Dr Saif al-Islam has tried to explain the method of scientific research and the principles of dissertation writing to students. In the present study, this book has been reviewed and criticized with a descriptive-analytical method and has enumerated some of its advantages and shortcomings. Based on the findings of the current study, the author's ability to explain the content, coherence and order of topics, emphasizing the need to use a computer in scientific research, and observing writing marks are among the most important strengths of the book. However, lack of attention to in-text citations, lack of use of sources, and lack of comprehensiveness of some content and lack of explanation of the difference between methodology and research methods are the shortcomings of the book.

This research is based on a structured analysis of the book written by Pierre Bourdieu, called Photography, a Middle-Brow Art. This study is a descriptive analysis of the different sections of the book from different perspectives. In this research, we considered the Persian translation of the book. Moreover, the origin of the work and the effectiveness of its contents after more than half a century from its publication, along with its advantages and disadvantages were discussed. We also compared the Persian translation to the English version. The translation of the work was also examined, which revealed that the book has a decent translation quality, despite detecting a few errors in some sections. It can be concluded that due to the long time since its publication and the speed of change in its concerning fields, namely sociology and photography, most arguments in the book can no longer be cited. Also, because the book contains discontinuous articles and does not have an explicit conclusion, it does not have the desired unity in general, which might result in the fact that each section can be read independently.

Within the field of strategic management, several sources have been compiled, one of the most popular of which is the book Strategic Management by F. R. David, translated by S. M. Aarabi and Ali Parsaeian. The purpose of this study is to review and critique this book. A worksheet utilizes to review textbooks and university books of the Iranian council for reviewing books and text on human sciences. A critical review of the research included the author, appearance, structure, and content of the book. According to the findings, in the international academic community, David is not recognized as thoughtful in the strategic field. David's book has a good logical structure, and from a scientific point of view, it has a legitimate gain. Also, the book chapters are well organized based on substance, and the author has attempted to incorporate the main topics of his model completely in different parts of the book. In terms of content quality, the book is desirable from the reader's point of view (not from the attitude of an executive). The main advantages of the book, for-profit approach of the presented tools, and the main weakness of the book can be considered in the lack of expression of scientific principles and views of experts in the field of strategic management in the book chapters. There are also problems with translating the original text and problems in Persian literature and writing.

The unpleasant effect of Fiat money creation in disruption of economic equilibrium and class division creation is one of the main subjects of expert circles. Therefore, some researchers suggest “Theory of Gold Standard” instead of credit money. The book An Introduction to The Theory of Gold Standard: The Monetary System of the New Islamic Civilization is the most important book in explanation of this theory in Iranian publications. This article deals with the theoretical approach and it reviews the theory of the Gold Standard. The article shows the authors’ valuable concern about the monetary and banking system`s challenges and the unpleasant effects of Fiat money creation. Finally, the book cannot answer ambiguity and main questions scientifically and convincingly. Perhaps simultaneous using of Gold with credit money (no complete removal of credit money) is the more reasonable suggestion for the Iranian monetary system.

Our awareness of Parthian Iran has been growing in recent decades. The concise but prolific book Principles of Parthian History by German archaeologist Klaus Schipmann was published in 1980. The main issue of this article is the content and form critique of the book and the views of its author. The book is reviewed based on analytical and critical methods. The chapter on political history, especially its political and legal analysis in the report on relations between Rome and Iran, is one of the brilliant chapters and a turning point of the book. The annoying tightness of the social, artistic, and economic sectors and the author's refusal to provide additional information and explanations are among the book's weaknesses. Other shortcomings of the book include the lack of images, the lack of related maps, and the author's refusal to provide excerpts from the text of coins, inscriptions, and written sources. The book has a high-quality typeface, page layout, and binding. In the field of translation, in addition to the difficult and sometimes formal prose of the translator and some errors in the names of the persons, some vague equations as well as the incorrect chronology of events, the book receives an acceptable score.

The book Children’s Literature in Iran is a university textbook that covers most of the topics of the Ministry of Science, for two units of “Children’s Literature” course at the undergraduate level. The author of the book is Mohammad Dehrizi, one of the authors of “Writing” book in high school, a graduate of literature and one of the poets and writers of children and adolescents, who has won several national awards. The book was first published in 2009 under the title Iranian Children and Adolescent Literature, and its new edition was published in 2020. The book has many positive aspects, but due to common methodological weaknesses between this book and many books which are written in the realm of children's literature, the present study prefers to critique this book from an approbation point of view, rather than a critical one. A book has a scientific function to the extent that it can present the paradigms of a theory to the reader in a systematic hierarchy. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to examine the method of systematizing the paradigms introduced in the book. In this regard, the book is reviewed in six areas: education, methodology, content, editing, chaptering, and aesthetics. This research, for the first time in Iran, reviews a book in the field of theoretical literature for children and adolescents.

Translation is one of the most important tools for knowledge transfer, especially for the academic community, so translation of a book like its original version has a special value and importance. One of the most valuable and academic books is "Microeconomic Analysis" which is written by Hal.R Varian which is one of the top scientific sources of microeconomics. Ney Publishing has published this book which is translated by Mr. Reza Hosseini and now it is one of the educational resources of microeconomics in postgraduate studies in Iranian universities. Given the valuable position of this book, its translation requires a critical review and this article has tried to evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of this book according to the analytical-descriptive method by quantitative and qualitative analysis. It means discussing the appearance features, writing, edition, idiomatic translations, and text translation. It has been concluded that the translation of this book is quantitatively acceptable, but it has qualitative disadvantages that are not sufficient for the translation of an academic scientific book. It is suggested that due to the numerous editions of the book's translation and its importance, the next editions of this translation should be reviewed and the proposed corrections can be considered.

The book “Feasibility Study of Issuance of Sukuk in Iranian Economy, a Case Study of Mining and Mining Industries” is a report of a research project carried out by Amir Hossein Mozini in the Economics Research Institute of Tarbiat Modares University. This work deals with how the mining sector is financed through the issuance of Istisna's Sukuk. This article, while introducing the work in general, examines and critiques it from the formal and content aspects. The findings of this paper show that although it provides a methodical method for examining the possibility of using Sukuk in different sectors of the economy and is somewhat of a practical effect, it has both formal and content characteristics. There are also some drawbacks such as lack of literary and scientific editing of the work, the weakness in the logical order and sequence of content, and the topics do not have the necessary strength. Ignoring first-hand sources and confusion in how to refer are other drawbacks of this work. In this work, the author does not mention the role of the Central Bank of Iran and the impact of its policies, especially its role in the regulatory pricing of Sukuk. This is one of the most important reasons why various economic sectors do not welcome Sukuk as an Islamic financing tool.

Islamic management is a science that is expected to become more operational in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Religious-managerial researchers have also done more research in this area. One of these scholars is Hojjatoleslam Naghi Porfar, who wrote a book entitled "Principles of Islamic Management and Its Patterns" in the 1970s. This research has reviewed this valuable book to examine its advantages and disadvantages. In this research, after introducing the author and a brief summary of the book, he deals with the background of research conducted in the field of Islamic management in order to critically review this book using previous research. In terms of form and structure, the book has some advantages such as using rich introductions to prepare the reader for the main content, as well as simple writing of the five principles. Considering the disadvantages the existence of writing defects, punctuation marks, the lack of information section, and etc can be mentioned. In terms of content, the book uses the method of quoting verses and hadiths to prove its content and only five principles, non-precedence over God and the Prophet, heresy, unity and harmony, management based on the power of forces and management based on insight forces are reviewed critically in detail.

In recent years, for various reasons, including the introduction of management in the West as an independent science and also due to the social needs of Islamic societies to use Islamic management in the management of society and organizations, some Islamic scholars have tried to write books on Islamic management. Authors try to write books which consider the presuppositions of various theories and in this regard, one of the valuable books in this field is the book "Islamic Management" which is our concern in this article. The present book focuses on different types of views on Islamic management as well as different trans-theoretical views on Islamic management. This book also deals with formal, theoretical, and content critique through the application of meta-theoretical technique and the method of content analysis of the book. Finally, it is suggested that technical and literary editing of the book are needed, more attention should be paid to the richness of the book content and the issue of task orientation would be discussed in the chapters related to planning, supervision, and control.

The content of A New Look at the Entrepreneurial Beliefs and Corporate Management book comprises three sectors and 13 chapters with the centrality of entrepreneurship and corporate management. Also, an attempt has been made to provide a redefinition of entrepreneurship and related beliefs; although this effort has been futile with the lack of use of new and novel resources. The book mostly relies on reports of the previous decade and has been deprived from domestic reports. Although this book has been able to provide comprehensive knowledge of entrepreneurship and business management in firms by imitating resources from previous decades, it hasn’t been able to explain the relationship between business and entrepreneurship and mainly asks the reader for their judgment on the subject. Also by using phrases such as: the statistics indicate that, or some scientists have said that; tries to confirm its content. Therefore, contrary to the opinion of the writers of the book, it’s not a complete source particularly about the use of internal experience in the area under discussion.

The art of play is the result of human social life, more than any other type of art in relation to social man, and accordingly, its connection with the new civilization can be emphasized more than other components. In the new era, the play is one of the most important topics for critical discussions, whether as a text or as a collection of narratives performed by actors on stage to the extent that the critical and historical books of this type of art have a wide range of the oldest types of art. One of the most recent works of this kind is Nashat 'al-Masrah fi al-Mashreq, (The Emergence of Theater in the East), whose author has studied the origin and evolution of this art in the Orient, focusing on Lebanon and Syria, Turkey and Iran. The article intends to provide a critical reading of it by adopting a descriptive method, and the results show that although the value of the book in question is small, the author has been able to use accurate methods in reviewing the evolution of the work as a historical-analytical book by using reliable documents and sources.

Studying academic and academic books often aims at transforming the quality of education in order to reveal the angles that are hidden from the author’s point of view. One of the books published in the field of comparative literature developed for undergraduate Arabic language and literature students is the book Aladb al-Moghrannfi Iran and Al-Alam al-Arabi (1903-2012) by Heydar Khezri, published by Sindi Publications. This book is important because it introduces new schools of comparative literature and examines them. Hence, this study examines the book in two parts of the form and content and examines the privileges and drawbacks in each section. Among the results are: Although the author has written his first work in this field, the book has a good coherence, so that the reader is well versed in the study of the book with comparative literature, especially in the field of two Persian and Arabic Literature. In addition, the noteworthy mention of the book is that this work has taken a new step in identifying new schools and theories in the field of comparative literature than other works written in this field, while avoiding repeated repetition, innovation has struck.

On the surface, the book lacks a complete content list and a final conclusion section; works cited are dated, and there are some word usages. The book also suffers from a lack of scrutiny, and structurally speaking, the book is fragmented and loosely.

The first example of the book Teaching and Learning Skills (Teaching Methods and Techniques) is the first volume by Hassan Shaabani. The textbook has been studied based on the content and format of academic textbook critique, textbook review, and humanities textbook review. Based on the research findings, this book has some advantages and disadvantages such as the introduction of goals and objectives at the beginning of each chapter, the use of tables and diagrams, the presentation of conceptual models at the beginning of each chapter, students’ professional needs, as well as shortcomings and weaknesses such as lacking a persuasive educational model, lack of new scientific findings, inadequate presentation, lack of motivational and critical thinking questions, and repeated disruption of some book topics with other related lessons. The other shortcomings include how to cite, overlooking new sources, adjust abstract, volume, and book cover design which are inappropriate to reduce book productivity and efficiency for the audience.
