The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem are often dismissed as a fringe cult for their beliefs that African Americans are descendants of the ancient Israelites and that veganism leads to immortality. But John L. Jackson questions what "fringe" means in a world where cultural practices of every stripe circulate freely on the Internet. In this poignant and sophisticated examination of the limits of ethnography, the reader is invited into the visionary, sometimes vexing world of the AHIJ. Jackson challenges what Clifford Geertz called the "thick description" of anthropological research through a multidisciplinary investigation of how the AHIJ use media and technology to define their public image in the twenty-first century. Moving beyond the "modest witness" of nineteenth-century scientific discourse or the "thick descriptions" of twentieth-century anthropology, Jackson insists that Geertzian thickness is impossible, especially in a world where the anthropologist's subjects craft their own self-ethnographies and critically consume the ethnographer's offerings. Taking as its topic a group situated along the fault lines of several diasporas--African, American, Jewish--Thin Description provides an account of how race, religion, and ethnographic representation must be understood anew in the twenty-first century, lest we reenact old mistakes in the study of black humanity.

"In der gesamten physikalischen Lehrbuchliteratur gibt es wohl kaum ein anderes Werk, das auf seinem Feld so unangefochten eine Spitzenstellung behauptet wie das Elektrodynamik-Buch von Jackson, und das bereits seit vier Jahrzehnten." - Physik Journal. Die deutsche Übersetzung dieses Klassikers der theoretischen Physik erscheint jetzt in einer nochmals durchgesehenen Neuauflage. Damit wird theoretische Elektrodynamik noch verständlicher als je zuvor. Einzigartig bleibt die konkurrenzlos hohe Anzahl von konkret gerechneten Beispielen, exakt durchgerechneten Fällen und zahlreichen Übungsaufgaben. Nach wie vor ist das Buch seit der 3. Auflage größtenteils in SI geschrieben. Seine Anwendungsnähe (auch zur Experimentalphysik) wird sowohl von Studenten als auch von Wissenschaftlern, Hochschullehrern und Ingenieuren geschätzt. The German translation of this classic of theoretical physics is now available in a further revised edition. This renders theoretical electrodynamics even more comprehensible than before. Unique to this textbook of electrodynamics are the incomparably large number of calculated examples and special cases and the many exercises at the end of each chapter. Its proximity to applied science is valued by students, scientists, teachers and engineers alike.
