Classical Electrodynamics of Complex Media

Meeting the need for a comprehensive, yet accessible advanced textbook that conveys the physical foundation and puts effects into context, this is a treatment of the physics behind metamaterials, photonic crystals, soliton waves and many other novel developments.
From the contents:
* Maxwell Equations
* Electromagnetic response of various inclusions
* Effective permissivity
* Exactly solvable models
* Spatial dispersion
* Metamaterials
* Mesoscopic phenomena
Pedagogically written, the text is suitable for readers unfamiliar with theoretical physics, and includes problems, with a separate solutions manual available to lecturers.
A must-have for higher courses in electrical engineering, material research, physics and photonics.
