Following a discussion of the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with a classical charged dipole oscillator, the interaction with a free charge is described (the Compton effect). Subsequently Dodd deals with stimulated emission and absorption, spontaneous emission and decay, the general problem of light stimulating and being scattered from the two-state atom, the photoelectric effect, photoelectric counting statistics, and finally his own personal view of the nature of light.
