Overview
Written with concise introductory arguments for the physics of electromagnetism, this book covers basic topics including the nature of space-time-dependent radiations in modern applications
In addition to being appropriate for undergraduates, this book serves as a useful reference for graduate students and researchers as well
Unique because unlike other books on the subject which focus on mathematical arguments, this book is written with emphasis on the original field concept, aiming at objectives in modern information technology
Location of active charges is indicated on all illustrations, whereas it is not explicitly shown in any other text

Reviews
From the reviews:
"There are quite a large number of works that discuss electromagnetics from a mathematical/engineering perspective. Fujimoto (Univ. of Guelph) tries to present a slightly different approach, focusing on understanding the physics of electromagnetics … . Every chapter starts with a physical observation and continues with a general theorem/conclusion. … Addition of higher-quality illustrations and figures would improve the visual aspects of the book, and end-of-the-chapter problems would help students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (B. Kordi, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)
"In Physics of Classical Electromagnetism, Minoru Fujimoto presents basic electromagnetism with an overview of current problems in high-frequency physics. … The mathematical details are provided in the appendix. A list of references and index are also included. The book is intended for students of physics and engineering at undergraduate levels, and should also serve as a reference for graduate students and researchers." (Reva Garg, Optics and Photonics News, December, 2007)
"‘Physics of classical electromagnetism’ by Minoru Fujimoto is a comprehensive and pedagogically well organized textbook for both the undergraduate and graduate students in physics and electrical engineering. It provides a modern approach in treating a broad variety of subjects in the field of classical electrodynamics … ." (Vladimir Cadež, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1163, 2009)
