Reader reviews for Collective Electrodynamics: Quantum Foundations of Electromagnetism

From the publisher

In this book Carver Mead offers a radically new approach to the standard problems of electromagnetic theory. Motivated by the belief that the goal of scientific research should be the simplification and unification of knowledge, he describes a new way of doing electrodynamics - collective electrodynamics - that does not rely on Maxwell's equations, but rather uses the quantum nature of matter as its sole basis. Collective electrodynamics is a way of looking at how electrons interact, based on experiments that tell us about the electrons directly. (As Mead points out, Maxwell had no access to these experiments).

First line

It is my firm belief that the last seven decades of the twentieth century will be characterized in history as the dark ages of theoretical physics.
