High-Field Electrodynamics

This advanced text provides a detailed introduction to high-field electrodynamics, from its fundamentals to some of its important modern applications. The author describes a broad collection of theoretical techniques, and where possible, approaches derivations by at least two different routes to yield deeper physical insight and a wider range of mathematical and physical techniques. He also discusses some of the outstanding ramifications of electrodynamics in areas ranging from quantum optics and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox to rotating black holes, and the Bohm-Aharanov effect. This outstanding treatment serves as a starting point for advanced research at the frontiers of modern physics.
