Laszlo Solymar 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 conducted 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 has published 8 books
and over 250 papers. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society
since 1995, and re received the Faraday Medal of the Institution of
Electrical Engineers in 1992. The late Donald Walsh was an Emeritus
fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. He first worked for 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 - High Pressures*
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*
