"It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians
such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth
description of the fundamentals of classical physics. . . . The
sheer amount of material covered and the effort that has gone into
condensing it into a single, beautifully produced volume is
extraordinarily impressive."---Malcolm Longair, Nature
"A tour through macroscopic physics that features modern treatments
of classical topics and insightful treatments of modern ones. . . .
Modern Classical Physics is a magnificent achievement."---Edward
Witten, Physics Today
"An excellent tool for students and researchers as an introduction
to classical subjects usually missing from most modern physics
curricula. . . . A valuable reference for physicists about modern
approaches of the development and applications of classical
physics."---Miguel A. F. Sanjuán, Contemporary Physics
