5.1.5 Getting agreement with the Ampère–Maxwell law
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) is arguably the father of electromagnetism, and unarguably one of the greatest physicists ever. Einstein called Maxwell's equations 'the most important event in physics since Newton's time, not only because of their wealth of content, but also because they form a pattern for a new type of law'. This unit will examine Maxwell's greatest triumph, the prediction that electromagnetic waves can propagate vast distances through empty space and the realisation that light
2.2 Transportation disasters Movement of people and goods was one of the main outcomes of the industrial revolution in Britain in the late-eighteenth century, starting with canals, which were displaced gradually by railways. Industrialisation came through innovation in manufacture, especially the development of mass-produced materials such as cast-iron. While the material had been known and used since the Elizabethan period, it could only be made in small quantities by smelting iron ore with charcoal. The Darby fam

1.3 Eugenics
This unit explores the Holocaust, as the destruction of European Jewry is commonly known. The mass killing represented by the Holocaust raises many questions concerning the development of European civilisation during the twentieth century. This unit, therefore, covers essential ground if you wish to understand this development.

3 Hero and author
What does Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus tell us about the author and the time at which the play was written? This unit will help you to discover the intricacies of the play and recognise how a knowledge of the historical and political background of the time can lead to a very different understanding of the author's intended meaning.
Next steps
The aim of this unit is to enable you to get started in Classical Greek. It has been developed in response to requests from students who had had no contact with Greek before and who felt they would like to spend a little time preparing for the kind of learning that takes place on a classical language course. The unit will give you a taster of what is involved in the very early stages of learning Greek and will offer you the opportunity to put in some early practice.
Marmots in the back country of Colorado
Marmots are in the same family as squirrels, prairie dogs, and chipmunks but are the largest rodent of the group. Marmots are mistaken for prairie dogs because they have similar colored fur, small tails, and a rounded head.
Corn gravitropism versus phototropism
Gravitropism is the turning or growing in a different direction of a plant in response to gravity. Phototropism is the turning or growing in a different direction of a plant in response to light. The seedlings in this video can't turn fully toward the light because of their response to gravity.
Pacific ocean off the coast of California
Open ocean water has lower nutrient concentrations than intertidal zones and wetlands due to much of the ocean that does not receive sunlight. Open ocean water is much colder and provides less vegetation and physical structures for use as shelter.
Digital Earth Workbench: Viewing Terrain Height
The Digital Earth Workbench is an interactive application that runs on a SGI Onyx Infinite Reality system and is controlled by an Immersive Workbench, tracked stereo glasses, and a tracked wand. The application allows an unprecedented freedom to roam georeferenced datasets at multiple resolutions and timescales. This animation is one of a series of direct screen captures of the application in operation. The occasional menu appearance denotes direct intervention by the operator to add or delete d
