Electricity, Relativity and Magnetism: A Unified Text presents thefirst complete and systematic derivation of the principles ofmagnetism and electromagnetism from Coulomb s law and the theory ofspecial relativity alone. Most books on magnetism introduce thesubject in terms of experimental observations, as if magnetism weredistinct from, albeit associated with, electricity. The topic ofrelativity is often mentioned, but almost as an afterthought,rather than as a crucial element of the argument. In this new bookfrom Dr Derek Craik, the important links between electricity andmagnetism, via special relativity, are emphasized, leading thereader to a more meaningful and profound understanding of thesubject.
