4.0 out of 5 stars For Graduate level audience, April 20, 2004
In most electromagnetism texts, dielectric materials receive cursory attention. There is usually little description, beyond a table of dielectric constants for various materials. But in engineering/materials science, there is often need for a more indepth treatment.

Which is what the authors provide. They start with the basic properties of dielectrics and develop the often neglected theory. It is nice to see this comprehensive treatment. The emphasis here is on a macroscopic scale. The typical audience for this book has no need for a microscopic quantum mechanical treatment. The analysis can be considered a good excursion into applied electromagnetism. Remember your Maxwell's Equations!
