内容简介：
This text is the first of two volumes devoted to the photon. Volume 1 presents a systematic development of the fundamental magnetizing field of electromagnetic radiation, B(3);B(3). The book has 12 chapters which collectively describe the properties of this field in a vacuum and in the interaction of light with matter. Volume 2 deals with the development of non-Abelian, or O(3), electrodynamics in which B(3);B(3) is incorporated systematically. These books should be of interest to researchers and graduate students studying the theory of electromagnetic radiation.
