Modern Classical Physics: Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics

“Winner of the 2018 PROSE Award in Textbook / Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Association of American Publishers”“Kip S. Thorne, Co-Winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics”“Roger D. Blandford, Co-Winner of the 2016 Crafoord Prize in Astronomy and Winner of the 2020 Shaw Prize in Astronomy”“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
