"unique and indispensable…" --Science Progress

Covers the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter. There is a considerable amount of new material particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena with new chapters on spatial dispersion and non-linear optics.

Electrostatics of conductors
Static magnetic field
Superconductivity
The propagation of electromagnetic waves
Spatial dispersion
Diffraction of X rays in crystals.
