Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism

Described by Einstein as "the most important event in physics since Newton's time," the discovery by James Clerk Maxwell that a vast array of phenomena could be united by four elegant formulas remains one of the greatest successes of modern physics. This book, based on the third originallypublished in 1891, presents the original work which underpins the electronic revolution in the 20th century and which inspired both Lorentz's theories on the electron and Einstein's theory of relativity. Volume II covers magnetism and electromagnetism.Maxwell, James Clerk is the author of 'Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism', published 1979 under ISBN 9780486606361 and ISBN 0486606368.
