Any student working with the celebrated Feynman Lectures will ?nd a
chapter in it with the intriguing title Electromagnetic Mass [2,
Chap. 28]. In a way, it looks rather out of date, and it would be
easy to skate over it, or even just skip it. And yet all bound
state particles we know of today have electromagnetic mass. It is
just that we approach the question differently. Today we have
multiplets of mesons or baryons, and we have colour symmetry, and
broken ?avour symmetry, and we think about mass and energy through
Hamiltonians. This book is an invitation to look at all these
modern ideas with the help of an old light. Everything here is
quite standard theory, in fact, classical electromagnetism for the
main part. The reader would be expected to have encountered the
theory of elec tromagnetism before, but there is a review of all
the necessary results, and nothing sophisticated about the
calculations. The reader could be any student of physics, or any
physicist, but someone who would like to know more about inertia,
and the clas sical precursor of mass renormalisation in quantum
?eld theory. In short, someone who feels it worthwhile to ask why
F= ma.
