From the reviews: "This second book of the trilogy Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics is a comprehensive review of the applications of optical near-field interaction with matter ... . It is so clearly written that it is accessible even for undergraduate students. An extensive and updated reference list can be found at the end of each chapter, and the book includes an extended index. This book - and the entire trilogy - is a must for any university library."
