Michael Walker

    Michael Walker verfasst lebendige Erzählungen, die sich auf das pulsierende Herz von Musik und Kultur konzentrieren, insbesondere auf das legendäre Milieu von Laurel Canyon, einem Schmelztiegel des Rock 'n' Roll. Seine Arbeit beleuchtet, wie diese ikonische Nachbarschaft die Entwicklung der Musik prägte, und fängt den Zeitgeist einer Ära ein, in der bahnbrechende Klänge entstanden. Walker taucht auch in die Welt der Punkrock-Geschichte ein und beleuchtet deren bleibenden Einfluss auf die moderne Musik. Sein umfangreicher journalistischer Hintergrund, einschließlich redaktioneller Tätigkeiten bei großen Zeitungen, fließt in seine aufschlussreichen Auseinandersetzungen mit der Popkultur ein.

      Verfassungsrechtliche Rahmenbedingungen für einen polizeirechtlichen Paradigmenwechsel

      • 430 Seiten
      • 16 Lesestunden

      Der Paradigmenwechsel im Polizeirecht seit 2017, der Maßnahmen wie Aufenthaltsverbote und Meldeauflagen im Gefahrenvorfeld erlaubt, wird kritisch untersucht. Die verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sind bislang unklar, weshalb eine tiefgehende Analyse notwendig ist. Die gängige Differenzierung polizeilichen Handelns wird hinterfragt, um Fälle zu identifizieren, die eine Abweichung vom bisherigen Leitbild rechtfertigen. Zudem wird der normative Gestaltungsraum des Gesetzgebers für spezifische und verhältnismäßige Rechtsgrundlagen abgesteckt.

      Quantum physics has turned our commonsense notion of reality on its head. This accessible book describes in layperson's terms the strange phenomena that exist at the quantum level--a world of tiny dimensions where nothing is absolutely predictable, where we rethink causality, and information seemingly travels faster than light. The author, a veteran physicist, uses illuminating analogies and jargon-free language to illustrate the basic principles of the subatomic world and show how they explain everything from the chemistry around us to the formation of galaxies. He also explains how scientists and engineers interact with this nebulous reality and, despite its mysteries, achieve results of great precision. Up front is a brief history of the early 20th-century quantum revolution, focusing on some of the brilliant individuals whose contributions changed our view of the world--Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger, and others. The work concludes with a discussion of the many amazing inventions that have resulted from quantum theory, including lasers, semiconductors, and the myriad of electronic devices that use them. Lucidly written, this book conveys the excitement of discovery while expanding the reader's appreciation for a science that explores the basis of everything we know.
