Laszlo Solymar was born in 1930 in Budapest. He is Emeritus
Professor of Applied Electromagnetism at the University of Oxford
and Visiting Professor and Senior Research Fellow at Imperial
College, London. He graduated from the Technical University of
Budapest in 1952 and received the equivalent of a PhD in 1956 from
the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 1956 he settled in England
where he worked first in industry and later at the University of
Oxford. He did
research on antennas, microwaves, superconductors, holographic
gratings, photorefractive materials, and metamaterials. He has held
visiting professorships at the Universities of Paris, Copenhagen,
Osnabrück,
Berlin, Madrid, Budapest, and since 2000 Imperial College, London.
He published 8 books and over 250 papers. He has been a Fellow of
the Royal Society since 1995. He received the Faraday Medal of the
Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1992. Donald Walsh is an
Emeritus fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. He first worked for about
seven years at the Mullard Radio Valve Co, developing photo cells
and flash tubes, then for about the same period at the Services
Electronics Research Labs (SERL) on
travelling wave tubes, klystrons and TR switches. He came to the
Department of Engineering Science, Oxford in 1956 as a research
fellow to help the newly appointed Reader in Electrical Engineering
start
a research group in microwave electronics, and later became a
lecturer and college fellow. Richard R. A. Syms has been Head of
the Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group in the EEE Department,
Imperial College London, since 1992 and Professor of Microsystems
Technology since 1996. He graduated in Engineering Science at
Oxford University in 1979, and obtained a DPhil in 1982, also from
Oxford. He carried out postgraduate work at University College
London, Oxford University, and the Rutherford
Appleton Laboratory before moving to Imperial. He has published
around 180 journal papers, 100 conference papers and 2 books on
holography, guided wave optics, electromagnetic theory,
metamaterials,
magnetic resonance imaging, and micro-electro-mechanical systems
(MEMS), and has 18 granted patents. In 2001, he co-founded the
Imperial College spin-out company Microsaic Systems. He is an
Associate Editor for the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institute
of Physics, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers.
`Review from previous edition This book is a delight! It is
impossible to read it without a smile coming to your lips every few
pages. It is a new edition of a well-known undergraduate text,
intended for students of electrical engineering, but I am sure any
physics student could benefit from reading it ... It is an
excellent educational book, and I am sure that it will achieve the
aim of the authors, which is to instill a sense of quantum
mechanical reasoning into all its readers.' High Temperatures -

`An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple
treatment of mathematics, and a clear guide to applications have
made this book a classic text in electrical and electronic
engineering. Students will find it both readable and
comprehensive.' European Journal of Engineering Education
