Aristotle's Physics is one of the least studied ""great books""--physics has come to mean something entirely different than Aristotle's inquiry into nature, and stereotyped Medieval interpretations have buried the original text. Sach's translation is really the only one that I know of that attempts to take the reader back to the text itself.

This volume reproduces major portions of James Clerk Maxwell's mathematical physics papers, written as he grappled with his formulation of the theory of the electromagnetic field. A biographical introduction places the work in personal, historical and scientific context.
