  • Summary

    To make a current flow, you have to push on the charges. How fast they move, in response to a given push, depends on the nature of the material. For most substances, the current density J is proportional to the force per unit charge, f.

  • Summary

    Classical mechanics obeys the principle of relativity: the same laws apply in any inertial reference frame. By “inertial” I mean that the system is at rest or moving with constant velocity.1 Imagine, for example, that you have loaded a billiard table onto a railroad car, and the train is going at constant speed down a smooth straight track. The game will proceed exactly the same as it would if the train were parked in the station; you don’t have to “correct” your shots for the fact that the train is moving – indeed, if you pulled all the curtains, you would have no way of knowing whether the train was moving or not.

A Primer in Christian Ethics
  • Christ and the Struggle to Live Well
  • Luke Bretherton
  • Published online:

  • How does Christian belief and practice relate to living well amid the difficulties of everyday life and the catastrophes and injustices that afflict so many today? In his introduction to Christian ethics, Bretherton provides a new, constructive framework for addressing this question. Connecting the theory and practice of Christian moral thought to contemporary existential concerns, this book integrates classic approaches to the pursuit of wisdom with contemporary liberationist and critical voices. The relationship between human and nonhuman life provides a central focus to the work, foregrounding environmental justice. As well as addressing a broad range of ethical questions, Bretherton situates moral formation and the pursuit of human and nonhuman flourishing alongside a concern for spirituality, pastoral care, and political struggles to survive and thrive in the contemporary context. Written for those seeking a place to start, as well as those seasoned in the field, Bretherton's book provides an innovative ethical framework that moves beyond many of the impasses that shape current moral and political debates.

The Use of Force and International Law

  • Newly revised, this textbook provides an authoritative conceptual and practical overview of international law governing the resort to force. Following an introductory chapter, with a section on the key issues in identifying the law and actual and potential changes to it, the book addresses the breadth and scope of the prohibition of the threat or use of force and the meaning of 'force' as the focus of this. The book proceeds to address the use of force through the United Nations and regional organisations, the use of force in peacekeeping operations, the right of self-defence and the customary limitations upon this right, the controversial right of humanitarian intervention, and forcible interventions in civil conflicts. Updated to include greater focus on aspects such as cyber operations, the threat of force, and the 'human element' to the use force, as well as the inclusion of recent developments such as the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, it seeks to address the contemporary legal framework through the prism of contemporary challenges that it currently faces.

International Law

  • Written by one of the world's leading international lawyers, this is a landmark publication in the teaching of international law. International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the legal relationship between nations and states'. However, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors shaping the law and its application, international law is much more complex. This refreshingly clear, concise textbook encourages students to view international law as a dynamic system of organising the world. Bringing international law back to its first principles and breathing new life and energy into the subject, the book is organised around four questions: Where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does it resolve conflict? What does it say? This fourth edition includes references to new case-law and literature, and features (brief) discussions on recent topics of general interest, including the Ukraine invasion, global health law and energy law.

  • This comprehensive text provides a thorough analysis of the values and beliefs that have shaped American foreign policy, exploring how they have evolved over time. Through exploration of presidential administrations from the end of World War II to the present day, American Foreign Policy and Process provides an extensive comparison of policymaking processes during the Cold War, after Vietnam, and after 9/11. This new edition provides an up-to-date evaluation of the Trump and Biden administrations, including updates to reflect the current changes in the actions of important domestic foreign policy institutions. A series of chapters provides assessments of the role of governmental actors and non-governmental actors in affecting the direction of foreign policy. Through the use of supportive maps, key documents, figures, and tables, students will examine the history of American foreign policy and how it has evolved over time, with emphasis on comparing the changing approaches of administrations from Nixon through Biden.

    Cognitive Neuroscience

  • Summary

    As we will learn, cognitive neuroscience had very humble beginnings back in the time of the Romans, and was essentially dormant for close to two millennia thereafter. A surge of interest in anatomy, and the brain in particular, overtook scientists in Europe in the mid-1800s, pushing the field forward. This time period coincided with interest in mapping brain structure to function and description of brain circuits that form the foundations of cognitive neuroscience today. The need to serve the veterans of two World Wars, encompassing regions across the planet, led to a worldwide examination of the behavioral consequences of brain damage. Toward the end of the twentieth century and continuing on until today, an explosion of methods has allowed scientists for the first time to link brain structure and function to mental function in neurologically intact people.
