This book addresses the theoretical foundations and the main
physical consequences of electromagnetic interaction, generally
considered to be one of the four fundamental interactions in
nature, in a mathematically rigorous yet straightforward way. The
major focus is on the unifying features shared by classical
electrodynamics and all other fundamental relativistic classical
field theories. The book presents a balanced blend of derivations
of phenomenological predictions from first principles on the one
hand, and concrete applications on the other. Further, it
highlights the internal inconsistencies of classical
electrodynamics, and addresses and resolves often-ignored critical
issues, such as the dynamics of massless charged particles, the
infinite energy of the electromagnetic field, and the limits of the
Green's function method. Presenting a rich, multilayered, and
critical exposition on the electromagnetic paradigm underlying the
whole Universe, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers
and graduate students in theoretical physics alike.

il libro e un testo di Elettrodinamica classica avanzata e
comprende anche le basi della Teoria dei campi classici. Come tale
e rivolto a qualsiasi studente o ricercatore di Fisica Teorica. Una
caratteristica fondamentale del testo e rappresentata da una
derivazione rigorosa dei fenomeni ettromagnetici dalle fondamenta
teorico-matematiche della teoria, che mette bene in evidenze le
inconsistenze e i limiti interni della teoria. Il testo contiene
anche un certo numero di argomenti recenti o speculativi che nei
libri di testo vengono affrontati solo superficialmente.
