classical and modern physics electromagnetsim textbooks

anyone know of any books which talk about the two and compare them?

At what level?

university level?

The standard undergraduate book on electromagnetism is called, Introduction to Electrodynamics by David J. Griffiths.

Now a much bigger book, and generally considered a graduate text, is the book by John David Jackson. I think it is called Classical Electrodynamics.

Another good set of books on electrodynamics are in the Landau and Lif****z collection. You will have to look up the most suitable volume. I would note that these are very difficult and not for the faint hearted, definitely not a good first read.

As always the Feynman lectures are a beautiful introduction to any core level physics. These are much more focussed on the physics rather than the mathematics.

Finally, if we wish to see a more modern introduction to electrodynamics you should look for some books on gauge theory introducing it. I particularly enjoyed the book Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity by John Baez.

Hope this helps.
