Subject Matter:

This book focuses on the theory of electrodynamics as it applies to continuous media, such as fluids and solids, rather than vacuum electrodynamics. It covers:

• Electrostatics of conductors and dielectrics

• Constant current phenomena

• Constant magnetic fields

• Electromagnetic waves in media

• Thermal and statistical properties related to electromagnetism

• Effects in anisotropic and nonlinear media

It is highly mathematical and primarily used by advanced physics students and researchers.
