review text: The authors discuss the solution of Maxwell's equations for the interplay of a Kerr-nonlinearity and the general linear dispersion of a Lorentz oscillator. This way, more realistic linear dispersion phenomena are tractable because the approach includes all classical limits, for instance the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Several timely phenomena such as light bullet formation and envelope collaps are attributed.
