Topics in Electroweak Physics

We briefly discuss five topics in Precision Electroweak Physics: i) the recently proposed Effective Scheme of Renormalization, ii) evidence for electroweak bosonic corrections derived from the radiative correction Delta_r_eff, iii) an approach to estimate the scale of new physics in a hypothetical Higgs-less scenario, iv) simple and accurate formulae for s^2_eff, M_W, Gamma_l, and their physical applications, v) a recent proposal concerning the field renormalization constant for unstable particles.
