Fleisch’s book going global
Good news just keeps coming for Daniel Fleisch, Wittenberg University associate professor of physics.
The best selling author received world-wide attention early this year when he traveled 700 miles on Christmas day to make sure a Canadian man, who had received a flawed copy of his book, received a new one in time to give as a present to his nephew.
Now the book is going global.
“A Student’s Guide to Maxwell’s Equations,” will be published in Korean and Chinese complex-language editions.
The English-language edition of the book, now in its eighth printing, has been a No. 1 best-seller in the areas of waves and mechanics, electromagnetic theory and mathematical physics, while it has also reached as high as No. 4 in the physics category on Amazon.com.
A Japanese version of the book was published in April.
“When I received a copy of the Japanese edition last month, I was humbled and gratified to see the amount of work that Cambridge Press and the Japanese publisher put into the translation of the text, equations and figure labels of my book,” Fleisch stated in a Wittenberg release. “To think that they’re about to go through the process again in order to make my book available to people in the most populous nation on Earth is truly overwhelming.”
