I think this is a great text for students who just completed Physics II (Fisica II). It provides the origins of concepts learned in Physics II (Fisica II) by gently introducing advanced electrodynamics concepts in a very understandable means.

In mathematics, you see things like “A Geometric Approach” so often without any real reason to back up these texts’ named approaches more than their peers’ generic takes. This is not the case with this book. The emphasis is on intuition but the author does not shy away from advanced concepts. The many diagrams and graphs have practical reasons to be there as they help with understanding. The examples are given to motivate the reader to do a great job at it. There are also some proofs whenever the proof is not very big. There are also proofs when the proof directly helps with the understanding. The writing style is also great, mixing a formal type of writing with a more conversational style.
It is of great use to physicists, engineers, and mathematicians to understand and reinforce one’s intuition behind these concepts (suitable for MA I and MA II students).

Also, the author states in the preface that the Feynman Lectures were a great influence due to the way that Feynman explained everything! So, this is a strong indication of an author trying(and succeeding) to write a book on mathematics using that very powerful way of thinking and explaining.

Riferimento

“Drawing for Architects (Quarto Publishing) provides insights into a progression of drawing types, projections, and techniques by amplifying the conversations among plan, section, elevation, axonometric, oblique, and perspective, each with a specific relation to the kind of design information that is possible to express within it. This book suggestively explains both the technical and disciplinary importance of these conventions of “drawing” and the ways they continue to underwrite and enable the efforts of architectural design. Within is a catalog of drawing types used in architecture, as well as an assessment of applications, techniques for production, and key terminology, mostly explored through a unique case study that takes a purpose-made building design through each type and technique. To complement this information, drawing examples from a broad spectrum of currently practicing architects are featured as specimens of what drawing for architecture means today”. Volume di interesse per ampliare la bibliografia dei Laboratori di Disegno e Rilievo.
