This book tells the story of the historical development of electrodynamics, at the same time as introducing students to electrodynamics with vector calculus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the best treatment of the historical development of electricity, magnetism and electrodynamics I have ever seen. The breadth of the authors' knowledge, together with their ability to summarize historical results in exceptionally clear terms, is wonderful. Developing electromagnetism historically makes many concepts easier to understand .\u003cbr\u003e --- By an anonymous reviewer who is a senior professor at a major college or university.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart I: Electricity\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 Charge\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 The Electrostatic Force\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 Electrical Potential Energy\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Gauss's Law \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 The Equations of Laplace and Poisson\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePART II: Magnetism \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 Permanent Magnets\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 The Vector Potential and the Curl\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 Electromagnetism\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 Faraday's Law of Induction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 The Electron \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11 Galilean Relativity in Electrodynamics\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12 Superconductors and Plasmas \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart III: Light\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13 Transmission Lines\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14 Light in an Optical Medium\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15 Light in Free Space\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 16 Sources of Electromagnetic Radiation\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 17 Special Relativity\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 18 The Photon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ehttps: \/\/maricourt.press\/keohane_foy\u003cbr\u003e ISBN: 978-1-949942-00-2\u003cbr\u003e 728 pages, 650 illustrations, $30\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaricourt Academic Press: Textbooks with Content and Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA good popular science book tells a story of discovery.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA good academic treatise introduces new ideas with convincing evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA good how-to manual provides many step-by-step examples.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA good textbook does all three -- and more.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeohane, Jonathan W.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jonathan W.
