"Translated from the second edition of Ėlektrodinamika sploshnykh sred, Izdatelʹstvo "Nauka", Moscow 1982"--t.p. verso.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Electrostatics of conductors; Static magnetic field; Superconductivity; The propagation of electromagnetic waves; Spatial dispersion; Diffraction of X rays in crystals.

Covers the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter. There is a considerable amount of new material particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena with new chapters on spatial dispersion and non-linear optics.
