Diese Einführung in die Elektrodynamik und die spezielle Relativitätstheorie basiert auf Vorlesungsskripten, die im Physik-Diplomstudiengang an der Universität Bremen verwendet wurden. Der Text bietet einen kompakten Überblick über die wesentlichen Inhalte und eignet sich sowohl zur Begleitung der Vorlesung als auch zur Prüfungsvorbereitung. Die Skripten wurden im dritten Semester eingesetzt, weshalb Kenntnisse aus den ersten beiden Semestern, insbesondere in Mechanik, Optik und Thermodynamik, sowie mathematische Grundlagen vorausgesetzt werden. Obwohl speziell für den Diplomstudiengang konzipiert, ist das Buch auch für Physik-Studierende im Nebenfach und Lehramtskandidaten geeignet. Zudem ist es für Bachelor-Studiengänge mit Grundlagen in experimenteller Physik von Interesse. In einer Zeit, in der das Internet an Bedeutung gewann, wurden zahlreiche Hinweise auf hilfreiche Online-Ressourcen, insbesondere interaktive multimediale Darstellungen, integriert. Diese wurden vor Drucklegung auf ihre Aktualität überprüft. Die elektronische Version enthält aktive Links zu den Quellen. Der Inhalt umfasst Themen wie Elektrostatik, elektrische Leitung, Magnetfelder, elektromagnetische Strahlung und die spezielle Relativitätstheorie, einschließlich relativistischer Kinetik und Dynamik sowie Transformationen elektromagnetischer Größen.

The tale follows Norbert, a determined tortoise who embarks on adventures to pursue his dreams. Despite his slow pace, Norbert's perseverance and resilience shine through as he encounters various challenges along the way. This charming narrative highlights themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the importance of never giving up, making it an inspiring read for all ages.

This introductory textbook is designed primarily for university undergraduates in physics, but is also suitable for students in other natural or engineering sciences with a focus on physics. It covers classical mechanics, emphasizing phenomena and basic concepts over formalism, aligning more with experimental than theoretical physics. The approach aims to bridge the traditional divide between these areas, reflecting modern teaching methods. While the treatment is accessible, it does incorporate essential mathematical techniques, such as differential and integral calculus, which are crucial for physics students. The initial chapters introduce these mathematical concepts within their physical context, ensuring that students with limited mathematical backgrounds can grasp the material. In addition to the printed version, an electronic PDF version is available for download, optimized for computer viewing. The textbook also includes numerous references to online physics teaching resources, with active links in the electronic version. Lastly, answers to exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, enhancing the learning experience.

"Successful organizations are constantly searching for new ideas. Historically, organizations have looked to their employees and select partners. They have used techniques like brainstorming to gather and evaluate ideas. However, in today's market, talent and new ideas can be found everywhere. The Internet has enabled organizations to greatly expand their searches far beyond their four walls. Instead of ten or one hundred people, organizations from startups to Fortunate 500 firms can work with thousands or tens of thousands to discover and assess many, many more ideas (as well as prototypes, partners and people). We call this Crowdstorming. But how do you organize so many people and ideas to get the best results? Our goal is to help our readers make Crowdstorming work; to help more organizations engage with people far beyond their organizational borders, to find better ideas, solutions, talent and partners so we can address some of our most challenging problems -- not just for the sake of business, but for our society, too."--Publisher's website

The book explores the evolution of the Christian Church in England post-Civil War, highlighting the division into Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, and the rapidly expanding Protestant Nonconformity. It emphasizes the impact of 19th-century urban expansion, which led to the construction of numerous chapels and meeting houses, significantly contributing to the architectural heritage of cities, towns, and villages.
