Baloney! My 20th edition of the ARRL Antenna Book was copyrighted in
2005. On page 3-24 it says:
"By the late 1800s, the work of Lorf Raleigh, Sommerfeld, Fresnell,
Maxwell and many others led to the full mathematic characterization of
all electromagnetic phenomena, light included."

J.C. Maxwell had not nearly lost favor by 2005 among the editors of "The
ARRL Antenna Book", and had he recently been discredited most of us
would have heard of it.
