Special Relativity and Classical Field theory
"Physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman are back. This time, they introduce readers to Einstein's special relativity and Maxwell's classical field theory. Using their typical brand of real math, enlightening drawings, and humor, Susskind and Friedman walk us through the complexities of waves, forces, and particles by exploring special relativity and electromagnetism. It's a must-read for both devotees of the series and any armchair physicist who wants to improve their knowledge of physics' deepest truths."--Amazon.com.

What Hacker News says
- I'm currently reading Biological Science by Scott Freeman on my day off, and later on I'll finish off Special relativity and classical field theory by Leonard Susskind. If you consider poetry empty, perhaps it is you who are missing out on something. I myself do enjoy both ;-)
- It's one of a series, even. There is The Theoretical Minimum, Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory: The Theoretical Minimum, and Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum.
- Coincidentally on vacation I'm reading Leonard Suskind's "Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory: The Theoretical Minimum", which (I think, if I'm understanding correctly), goes into this question. Something about Gauge Invariance..
