“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fashion, starting from concepts formulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but this tends to promote outdated ways of thinking about the theory.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.”

Bertram Niessen alterna lo sguardo del sociologo, il piglio dell’agitatore culturale e l’attitudine pragmatica di chi da anni lavora come esperto accompagnatore di trasformazioni urbane. Se la modernità è per definizione sempre più liquida, le città sono specchi d’acqua: le spinte e le controspinte economiche, le trasformazioni sociali e politiche ne agitano la superficie senza sosta, creando vortici spaventosi e seducenti. Resta da capire se è possibile, oggi e ancor più domani, trovare il modo di Abitare il vortice

A great reflection timely produced on the current challenges on territory and the architectural representation, it might be of use for students and colleagues, as myself, researching in the intersections of different trajectories of inquiry.

Ref.

Uno dei non molti libri accademici dedicati all’analisi delle conseguenze dell’uso delle tecniche quantitative di valuazione in ambito universitario. Il libro è particolarmente interessante anche perché contiene proposte concrete relative ad alternative praticabili.
