The Classical Theory of Fields is a comprehensive book on physics. The book comprises of chapters on the principle of relativity, charges in electromagnetic fields, propagation of light, radiation of electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves and relativistic cosmology. This book is a part of the classic series Course of Theoretical Physics. This book is essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of physics. About the Authors L. D. Landau was a prominent Russian physicist best known for his contributions in the field of theoretical physics. He was honored with the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing a mathematical theory of superfluidity. Landau died on the 1st of April, 1968. Evgeny Lifshitz was a prolific Soviet physicist. Lifshitz was the second of only 43 people to have passed Landau's "Theoretical Minimum" examination. He has made extraordinary contributions in the field of quantum electrodynamics. Landau and Lifshitz have co-authored several books like Fluid Mechanics, Quantum Electrodynamics, etc.
