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.

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.

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.

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.

Ziya’ Ghâsemi claims in his book, Sabk-e Adabi Az Didghâh-e Zabânŝenâsi, that he has presented an analytic pattern based on linguistics, especially generative grammar, to analyze literary text’s style. This essay evaluates the book and its writer’s claims through criticizing the book’s form and content. Based on this book, this article attempts to show not only this book does not present a new point of view and method, but also it merely addresses some abstract examples like previous stylistics handbooks in Farsi. The book cannot be counted as a progress in literary and stylistic studies in any way because of its out of date references, ignoring new approaches in stylistics, repetition of other handbook’s defects, shallow knowledge about Persian literature, and misunderstandings of some literary terms.

On of printed works in the Persian language and literature field with respect to research teaching is ‘Research Principles in the Persian Language and Literature’ written by Taheri. Analyzing such a book amongst f similar works appears that the writer has tried to go beyond Persian language and literature by his critical and philosophical points of view. ’. The present review aims to review the most important shortcoming along with some necessary suggestions. The most important points in the discussion of structure and methods are inaccuracy in quotations and relying on memory, lack of mentioning the resources in the end, hurrying in the list of announcements, verbosity, lack of harmony of chapter titles and contents, mentioning unnecessary evidence, and lack of clarification between quotations and the writer’s opinion. In the discussion of content critique, lack of audience rhetoric, lack of attention to education principles and claimed proposition and discussion about unnecessary contents can be mentioned. So, the final review shows that this book despite its title and target goes beyond language and literature field and because of this attitude, it needs to revision.
