It is well known that classical electrodynamics is riddled with internal inconsistencies springing from the fact that it is a linear, Abelian theory in which the potentials are unphysical. This volume offers a self-consistent hypothesis which removes some of these problems, as well as builds a framework on which linear and nonlinear optics are treated as a non-Abelian gauge held theory based on the emergence of the fundamental magnetizing field of radiation, the B(3) field. Part One deals with development of the basic theory at the undergraduate level; Part Two is a collection of invited articles in advanced electrodynamics.Evans, M. W. is the author of 'Classical and Quantum Electrodynamics and the B(3) Field' with ISBN 9789810241490 and ISBN 9810241496.
