Weber's Electrodynamics (Fundamental Theories of Physics, Vol 66)

Rating:
Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: This book is great! It is definitely THE book to learn Weber's Theory of Electrodynamics. Something everybody interested in the fundamental laws of the universe should learn. Weber's Theory is very simple and fun to learn. The only dissapointment is that the theory doesn't explain the motions of particles travelling at near the speed of light (but that can easily be resolved). I also learned a lot of math by reading this book; It uses math in ways I haven't seen done in any other book. The book is very well organized and includes derivations for practically all the formulas. It also has a great bibliography to continue your studies in Weber's and other alternative theories. What I really don't like is the huge price tag, which means I have to go the library everytime I wanna check something out from the book.

If you've learned the Classical Theory of Electrodynamics, such as the one taught in Griffiths' and Jackson's books, and ever wondered if there can be another way... Then you gotta get a hold of this book!
