<P></P><P>THIS BOOK ADDRESSES THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND THE MAIN PHYSICAL CONSEQUENCES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERACTION, GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE FOUR FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS IN NATURE, IN A MATHEMATICALLY RIGOROUS YET STRAIGHTFORWARD WAY. THE MAJOR FOCUS IS ON THE UNIFYING FEATURES SHARED BY CLASSICAL ELECTRODYNAMICS AND ALL OTHER FUNDAMENTAL RELATIVISTIC CLASSICAL FIELD THEORIES. THE BOOK PRESENTS A BALANCED BLEND OF DERIVATIONS OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL PREDICTIONS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES ON THE ONE HAND, AND CONCRETE APPLICATIONS ON THE OTHER. FURTHER, IT HIGHLIGHTS THE INTERNAL INCONSISTENCIES OF CLASSICAL ELECTRODYNAMICS, AND ADDRESSES AND RESOLVES OFTEN-IGNORED CRITICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS THE DYNAMICS OF MASSLESS CHARGED PARTICLES, THE INFINITE ENERGY&NBSP;OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, AND THE LIMITS OF THE GREEN’S FUNCTION METHOD. PRESENTING A RICH, MULTILAYERED, AND CRITICAL EXPOSITION ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC PARADIGM UNDERLYING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, THE BOOK OFFERS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR RESEARCHERS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS ALIKE.</P><P></P>

Reseña del editor:

This book addresses the theoretical foundations and the main physical consequences of electromagnetic interaction, generally considered to be one of the four fundamental interactions in nature, in a mathematically rigorous yet straightforward way. The major focus is on the unifying features shared by classical electrodynamics and all other fundamental relativistic classical field theories. The book presents a balanced blend of derivations of phenomenological predictions from first principles on the one hand, and concrete applications on the other. Further, it highlights the internal inconsistencies of classical electrodynamics, and addresses and resolves often-ignored critical issues, such as the dynamics of massless charged particles, the infinite energy of the electromagnetic field, and the limits of the Green’s function method. Presenting a rich, multilayered, and critical exposition on the electromagnetic paradigm underlying the whole Universe, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in theoretical physics alike.
