James Clerk Maxwell

    13 giugno 1831 – 5 novembre 1879

    James Clerk Maxwell fu un fisico matematico scozzese il cui lavoro alterò fondamentalmente la nostra comprensione di elettricità, magnetismo e ottica. Formulò le equazioni chiave che descrivono questi fenomeni come manifestazioni di un unico campo elettromagnetico. Le sue scoperte dimostrarono che i campi elettrici e magnetici si propagano attraverso lo spazio come onde alla velocità della luce, unificando così la luce con i fenomeni elettrici e predicendo l'esistenza delle onde radio. Il lavoro pionieristico di Maxwell pose le basi della fisica moderna, inclusa la relatività speciale e la meccanica quantica, e la sua influenza sulla fisica del XX secolo è paragonata a quella di Newton ed Einstein.

      Ella e Miro sono rimasti soli al mondo da quando i loro genitori sono caduti combattendo valorosamente contro il perfido imperatore. Una sorte avversa, che però ha saputo ricompensarli tracciando loro la strada. Dal giorno in cui ha visto un incantatore usare le sue magiche arti per salvare la vita a suo fratello, Ella ha capito che quello è il suo destino. Entrare nella prestigiosa Accademia degli Incantatori è il suo sogno, ma la retta è molto alta e dovrà impegnarsi duramente. Il sogno di suo fratello Miro invece è quello di diventare il più grande esperto nell'arte della spada e combattere le forze oscure che si sono impossessate di gran parte della sua terra. Quando Miro parte per il fronte, il vuoto che lascia nel cuore di Ella è colmato da un affascinante straniero di nome Killian. Ma chi è veramente costui? Qual è il segreto che custodisce? Ella deve scoprirlo in fretta, perché da quel segreto dipende il destino di suo fratello, della sua terra, del mondo intero...

      Surrounded by fire, a girl with mysterious powers and a young warrior search for safety.Life in the wasteland is a constant struggle. No one knows it better than Taimin. Crippled, and with only his indomitable aunt to protect him, Taimin must learn to survive in a world scorched by two suns and frequented by raiders.But when Taimin discovers his homestead ransacked and his aunt killed, he sets off with one mission: to seek revenge against those who stole everything. With nowhere to call home, his hunt soon takes a turn when he meets a mystic, Selena, who convinces him to join her search for the fabled white city. Taimin and Selena both need refuge, and the white city is a place where Taimin may find someone to heal his childhood injury.As they avoid relentless danger, Taimin and Selena attempt to reach the one place that promises salvation. And they can only hope that the city is the haven they need it to be…

    • A Maxwellian Path to Maxwell's Equations

      Chapters from Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism

      Focusing on the revolutionary field theory of electricity and magnetism, this book distills Maxwell's extensive Treatise into a clear overview, presenting his original words and mathematics. It illustrates how the four fundamental Maxwellian equations emerge from his broader theories, culminating in the wave theory of light as a consequence of electromagnetic field theory. With numerous examples and illustrations, along with Howard Fisher's explanatory notes, the text is accessible even to those without calculus knowledge, making Maxwell's concepts comprehensible to a wider audience.

    • "Maxwell is without a peer … this printing is an opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted with the thought of the greatest of our electrical scientists." — School Science and Math. Here is the final elaboration of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, including the systematic and rigorous derivation of his general equations of field theory. These equations continue to occupy a central position in the modern physicist's view of the physical world. They are a magnificent summary of the fundamental advances in electricity and magnetism, and later inspired the theories of Lorentz on the electron and Einstein on relativity. Einstein himself has said that "The formulation of these equations is the most important event in physics since Newton's time" — The Evolution of Physics. Volume 2, Part III, "Magnetism," develops a theory of magnetism through the study of solenoids and shells, magnetic induction, methods of observation, and terrestrial magnetism. Part IV, "Electromagnetism," covers the mutual action of electric currents, the equations of motion of a connected system, Maxwell's dynamical theory of electromagnetism, the equations of the electromagnetic field, dimensions of electric units, parallel and circular currents, coils, and the electromagnetic theory of light and foundation of the theory of relativity.
