“In this concise book, R. Shankar, a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, explains the essential concepts of Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, waves, fluids, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. Now in an expanded edition-complete with problem sets and answers for course use or self-study-this work provides an ideal introduction for college-level students of physics, chemistry, and engineering; for motivated AP Physics students; and for general readers interested in advances in the sciences. The book begins at the simplest level, develops the basics, and reinforces fundamentals, ensuring a solid foundation in the principles and methods of physics.”

“R. Shankar is a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, whose popular online introductory-physics video lectures have been viewed over a million times. In this second book based on his online courses, Shankar explains electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics, developing the basics and reinforcing the fundamentals. With the help of problem sets and answer keys, students learn about the most interesting findings of today&;s research while gaining a firm foundation in the principles and methods of physics.”

“Electromagnetism is one of the pillars of modern physics. Robert Wald provides graduate students with a clear, concise, and mathematically precise introduction to the subject, covering all the core topics while bringing the teaching of electromagnetism up to date with our modern understanding of the subject. Electromagnetism is usually taught in a quasi-historical fashion, starting from concepts formulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but this tends to promote outdated ways of thinking about the theory. Wald begins with Maxwell’s equations—the foundation of electromagnetism—together with the formulas for the energy density, momentum density, and stress tensor of the electromagnetic field. He then proceeds through all the major topics in classical electromagnetism, such as electrostatics, dielectrics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics and radiation, diffraction, and special relativity. The last two chapters discuss electromagnetism as a gauge theory and the notion of a point charge—topics not normally treated in electromagnetism texts.”

Attualmente, la ricerca sui modi creativi di vari gruppi religiosi all’interno delle città globali di negoziare la propria presenza nella città é molto amplia (religious place-making). Questa letteratura non è stata tuttavia ancora in grado di identificare delle caratteristiche sistematiche di quello che viene considerato il suo radicalmente altro: ossia il “secular place-making”, inteso in una relazione agonistica con il suo opposto. Come il secolare opera nello spazio? Il libro é una primo tentativo di fare una riflessione sistematica su aspetti specifici del “secular place-making” e contiene spunti interessanti per nuovi punti di vista sul territorio, la legge e la società in genere. Considero sia di particolare importanza perché sembra dare spunti interessanti per uscire dal mainstream delle ricerche attorno al multiculturalismo nelle città globali.
