Title: A poor choice Review: I read this book several years ago when it was a part of the source material for the examination for promotion to Lieutenant in the Houston Police Department. To say it is poorly written is an understatement. I'm not sure who I am more frustrated at, the author for his poor skills at writing, the editor(s) who let so many horrible mistakes get past, or my own agency for allowing this text to be approved for use. If you are required to read this book for promotion or as a class assignment, you have my sincere sympathy. If you are considering buying this book for your own professional education, don't waste your money. Is this product review negative?

Title: Impenetrable Review: I found this book to be completely useless to me. It relies heavily on pure math rather than physical insight to treat the subject. Electrodynamics is hard enough without focusing on the physics as if they were an equation to be derived. This book is intended as a replacement for Jackson, but somehow manages to be even less clear. There are plenty of other E&M books to choose from (Schwartz, Landau, Griffiths, Jenkins) and if you are looking for an alternative to Jackson, choose one of those. Is this product review negative?
