This book takes a fresh and novel approach to century-oldproblems and theirsolution. The primary purpose is todetermine an equation of motion for the classical Lorentzmodel of the electron that is consistent with causalsolutions to the Maxwell - Lorentz equations. The authorobservesamong other things that one does not need quantummechanics to exclude the unphysical solution (to theequation of motion of a charge). In fact he shows for thefirst time that the classical theory is consistent initself.The book will be highly welcome to physicists, andhistorians and philosophers of science, both students andresearchers.Yaghjian, Arthur D. is the author of 'Relativistic Dynamics of a Charged Sphere Updating the Lorentz-Abraham Model' with ISBN 9780387978871 and ISBN 0387978879.
