A broad range of state-of-the-art methods to determine properties of clusters are presented. The experimental setup and underlying physical concepts of these experiments are described.
Furthermore, existing theoretical models to explain the experimental observations are introduced and the possibility to deduce structural information from measurements of dielectric properties is discussed.
Additional case studies are presented in the book to emphasize the possibilities but also drawbacks of the methods.

This first published edition of his lectures on ethics reflects the theology of Albrecht Ritschl (1822-1889) at a time when he advanced to become the most significant Protestant theologian in Germany with his major work "Rechtfertigung und VersAhnung" (Justification and Reconciliation) (1870 - 74).It demonstrates the impulses emanating from Ritschl's work which influenced and continue to influence systematic theology, church history and the 20th century ecumenical movement.

The critical edition of Schleiermacher's major work, the Glaubenslehre ["Doctrine of Faith"] (published in 2003 in two part-volumes 13/1 and 13/2 of the Critical Edition of Schleiermacher's Complete Works, 1st Section) is based on the originalprinted second edition of 1830/31, which has been compared for the first time with the manuscript in Schleiermacher's own hand re-discovered in 1980. This critical edition, with over 1000 improvements, some significant, compared with the Redeker edition will in future be the sole authoritative one. It is now published as a handy one-volume soft-cover textbook, with a new foreword by Rolf SchAfer, making the work accessible to interested specialist readers, in particular to students.
