✦ Synopsis

tive medium approaches, including the Maxwell±Garnett, Bruggeman, and Bergman theories. This chapter is likely to find the largest audience.

In summary, this monograph is an excellent resource for those specifically interested in the topic of plasma polymer multilayers; a full decade of progress is chronicled within its covers. And yet, my prediction is that this book is far too narrow in its focus to appeal to a wide readership. Nevertheless, nanoparticle enthusiasts, whose ranks are growing, may find a place for it on their bookshelves.
