From the reviews: "This book presents an up-to-date survey of theoretical and experimental studies of rough surface scattering of electromagnetic waves. ... It should be of interest to scientists and graduate students, especially those investigating areas in nanotechnology such as the effect of light scattering of quasi-particle nonlinear optics involving surface plasmons. This book can be used as a reference for a course on nanotechnology ... ." (Hsiung Hsu, Optics and Photonics News, May, 2007)
