What is Field, Force, Energy, and Momentum in Classical Electrodynamics about?

The classical theory of electrodynamics is based on Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz law of force. This book begins with a detailed analysis of these equations, and proceeds to examine their far-reaching consequences. The traditional approach to electrodynamics treats the "microscopic" equations of Maxwell as fundamental, with electric charge and electric current as the sole sources of the electric and magnetic fields. Subsequently, polarization and magnetization are introduced into Maxwell's equations to account for the observed behavior of material media. The augmented equations, known as Maxwell's "macroscopic" equations, are considered useful for practical applications, but ultimately reducible to the more fundamental "microscopic" equations. In contrast, the present book takes Maxwell's "macroscopic" equations as the foundation of classical electrodynamics, and treats electrical charge, electrical current, polarization, and magnetization as the basic constituents of material media. These constituents not only produce the electromagnetic fields, but also interact with these fields and exchange energy and momentum with them. The laws that govern the distribution of energy and
