The Natural Philosophy of James Clerk Maxwell by Peter M. Harman, ISBN 052100585X
This book provides an introductory yet comprehensive account of James Clerk Maxwell's (1831-79) physics and world view. The argument is structured by a focus on the fundamental themes that shaped Maxwell's science: analogy and geometry, models and mechanical explanation, statistical representation and the limitations of dynamical reasoning, and the relation between physical theory and its mathematical description. This approach, which considers his physics as a whole, bridges the disjunction between Maxwell's greatest contributions: the concept of the electromagnetic field and the kinetic theory of gases. Maxwell's work and ideas are viewed historically in terms of his indebtedness to scientific and cultural traditions, of Edinburgh experimental physics, and of Cambridge mathematics and philosophy of science, which nurtured his career. Peter M. Harman is Professor of the History of Science at Lancaster University. He has published primarily on the history of physics and natural philosophy in the 18th and 19th centuries, the period from Newton to Maxwell. His previous books include Energy, Force, and Matter (Cambridge, 1982), The Investigation of Difficult Things (Cambridge, 1992), After Newton: Essays on Natural Philosophy (Variorum, 1993), The Scientific Letters and Papers of James Clerk Maxwell, volume 1 (Cambridge, 1990), volume 2 (Cambridge, 1995).
The Tests of Time: Readings in the Development of Physical Theory by Lisa M. Dolling, ISBN 0691090858
The development of physical theory is one of our greatest intellectual achievements. Its products--the currently prevailing theories of physics, astronomy, and cosmology--have proved themselves to possess intrinsic beauty and to have enormous explanatory and predictive power. This anthology of primary readings chronicles the birth and maturation of five such theories (the heliocentric theory, the electromagnetic field theory, special and general relativity, quantum theory, and the big bang theory) in the words of the scientists who brought them to life. It is the first historical account that captures the rich substance of these theories, each of which represents a fascinating story of the interplay of evidence and insight--and of dialogue among great minds.
Readers sit in with Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo as they overturn the geocentric universe; observe the genius of Faraday and Maxwell as they "discover" the electromagnetic field; look over Einstein's shoulder as he works out the...

Fundamentals of Photonics by B. E. A. Saleh, ISBN 0471839655
In recent years, photonics has found increasing applications in such areas as communications, signal processing, computing, sensing, display, printing, and energy transport. Now, Fundamentals of Photonics is the first self-contained introductory-level textbook to offer a thorough surveyof this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. Featuring a logical blend of theory and applications, coverage includes detailed accounts of the primary theories of light, including ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics, as well as the interaction of light with matter, andthe theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties.
Presented at increasing levels ofcomplexity, these sections serve as building blocks for the treatment of more advanced topics, such asFourier optics and holography, guidedwave and fiber optics, photon sources and detectors, electro-opticand acousto-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, fiber-optic communications, and...

Radiowave Propagation by Jacques Lavergnat, ISBN 047149027X
Radio Wave Propagation provides an introduction to the study of the free propagation of electromagnetic waves. A good understanding of the propagation mechanisms is essential for the communications engineer and this text offers the necessary background knowledge. It emphasises the methods of establishing propagation models and covers the three basic elements: the nature of effective modelling, electromagnetism effects, and propagation devices.
Features include:
Numerous problems and exercises accompanied by detailed solutions
Discussion of the impact of this theory on communication systems such as mobile radio and satellite links
Details the main aspects of propagation, measurements and applications.
Essential reading for communications engineers, electronic engineers and undergraduate and postgraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering and applied physics.

Wave Scattering by Small Bodies of Arbitrary Shapes
This book presents analytical formulas which allow one to calculate the S-matrix for the acoustic and electromagnetic wave scattering by small bodies or arbitrary shapes with arbitrary accuracy. Equations for the self-consistent field in media consisting of many small bodies are derived. Applications of these results to ultrasound mammography and electrical engineering are considered. The above formulas are not available in the works of other authors. Their derivation is based on a mathematical theory for solving integral equations of electrostatics, magnetostatics, and other static fields. These equations are at a simple characteristic value. Convergent iterative processes are constructured for stable solution of these equations. The theory completes the classical work of Rayleigh on scattering by small bodies by providing analytical formulas for polarizability tensors for bodies of arbitrary shapes.

Fuel Cell Technology Handbook
Fuel cell systems have now reached a degree of technological maturity and appear destined to form the cornerstone of future energy technologies. But the rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left current information available only in scattered journals and Internet sites. The even faster race toward fuel cell commercialization further leaves the objectivity of many Internet articles open to question. The Fuel Cell Technology Handbook provides the first comprehensive treatment of both...
