✦ Synopsis

From the reviews:

"The monograph includes eight in-depth review chapters contributed by leading experts in various aspects of light scattering and its applications. … this one provides a wealth of information presented mostly in a systematic, self-contained, and accessible form. … This book will be a valuable addition to any research or university library. Individual professional researchers should also seriously consider buying a copy of the book for personal use … ." (Michael I. Mishchenko, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, Vol. 109, 2008)
