Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

V L Ginzberg (translated by D ter Haar) 1979 Oxford: Pergamon x + 457 pp price £25 (£10 paperback) The author views his work as a supplementary text devoted to particular aspects of theoretical physics applied to astrophysics, rather than a systematic exposition of theoretical physics as, for example, developed in the volumes of Landau and Lifshitz. It is in fact a treatise on electrodynamics, starting with an account of the Hamiltonian approach to electrodynamics, a discussion of the quantisation of radiation, and covering most aspects of the origins of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter.
