"This book provides very good technical depth and as such would be useful for someone wanting to learn not only some of the latest research in metamaterials but to gain an understanding of the fundamentals. Undergraduates and graduate students or working professionals studying metamaterials would find this book valuable especially for the extensive reference lists provided at the end of each chjapter. It covers a new topic in electromagnetic technology but since it uses a great deal of electromagnetic theory, the reader would need a firm understanding of Maxwell's equations and electronmagnetic wave propogation in order to fully appreciate this book, however, the many illustration and drawings do greatly help to explain the theory." --IEEE
