This article describes a new approach to radiation theory. This theory, expounded by Lieu and Axford, uses the concept of inverse Compton scattering to explain with unprecedented simplicity all the classical and quantum electrodynamic properties of synchrotron radiation, unifying two fundamental processes in physics. Ramifications of this theory are also discussed. 13 refs., 1 fig.
