Summary: I'm from Raleigh too
Review: And I find this an okay book. Hey other guy from Raleigh, was it really that bad? Do you think it's worse than the previous book, by Griffiths? Do you know of a much better EM textbook?

Summary: this is one of the better books on E&M
Review: the last reviewer doesnt know what he/she is talking about. this is one of the best books around. the explanation is very clear
and is always geared toward understanding the physics of what the hell is going on. the examples are all practical and emphasize the physics. not just calculate "this" or "that" "here" and "there". just
go to a bookstore and take a look at the book and u see what i
mean. i was trying to understand what is the magnetic pressure
and i looked at 10 books, this one has the best illustration.
also the special relativity is very clear.

Summary: This is one terrible book!
Review: This book is the worst. Anyone trying to learn electromagetism on their own or even in a class should definitely steer clear of this book. The writing is very terse, there are very few examples, and the few examples included are complicated, poorly done, and poorly explained.
