After 115 years, \u003ci\u003eMatter and Motion\u003c\/i\u003e still retains its power of suggestion; it deserves a place in any well-rounded modern scientific library.\u003cbr\u003eAs drawn up by one of the masters of science, the book is a carefully thought-out survey of Newtonian dynamics. Its generalizations proceed gradually from simple particles of matter to physical systems beyond complete analysis.\u003cbr\u003eIn this edition, the treatment of the fundamental principles of dynamics has been enlarged along the author's own lines by the inclusion of the chapter On the Equations of Motion of a Connected System, from Volume II of \u003ci\u003eElectricity and Magnetism\u003c\/i\u003e. Two apprendices have been added by the editor, one dealing with the principles of the relativity of motion and the other with the wider aspects of the principle of least action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Clerk Maxwell: In His Own Words -- And Others \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDover reprinted Maxwell's \u003ci\u003eTreatise on Electricity and Magnetism\u003c\/i\u003e in 1954, surely one of the first classics of scientific literature over a thousand pages in length to be given new life and accessibility to students and researchers as a result of the paperback revolution of the 1950s. \u003ci\u003eMatter and Motion\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1991 and \u003ci\u003eTheory of Heat\u003c\/i\u003e in 2001. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome towering figures in science have to speak for themselves.

The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade. -- Richard P.
