I received over a dozen books for Christmas all on electromagnetism. I
am trying to become familiar with them. One of the group is, "The
Holistic Inspirations of Physics" by Val Duser. Chapter 18 is titled:
"Maxwell, Field Theory, and Mechanical Models". On page 274 it says:
"In the history of the rise of the concept of the electromagnetic field,
James Clerk Maxwell holds pride of place. Maxwell`s equations of
electromagnetism are a part of classical physics least modified by the
introduction of twentieth century theories. Maxwell`s equations trumped
both Newtonian mechanics and classical thermodynamics in the formulation
of relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Einstein modified Newton`s
laws of motion in order to preserve Maxwell`s equations in special
relativity. Max Planck modified the laws of dlassical thermodynamics
(making energy discrete rather than continuous) to preserve Maxwell`s
theory of radiation in early quantum theory." There`s more but I`ll not
bore more. Read the book.

Hi Richard,

A commendable selection to quote, and far from boring.
