From the book reviews: "The book is heavily oriented toward applications with technological interest--piezoelectric materials are, in fact, largely used to construct resonators, sensors, and actuators-and as such it can surely be useful for readers interested in pursuing similar analyses or extending them to more intricate cases than those considered in the various chapters."
