First sentence: Almost all we see and perceive comes to us indirectly by the scattering of light from various objects; that is, by the scattering of electromagnetic radiation over a very restricted interval of the frequency spectrum.
Description: "This book describes the scattering of waves, both scalar and electromagnetic, from impenetrable and penetrable spheres. It provides an extensive introduction for those first studying the field, as well as a guide to further analysis and application for researchers in this area." "This book will be of primary interest to graduate students and researchers in physics (particularly in the fields of optics, the atmospheric sciences, and astrophysics), electrical engineering, physical chemistry, and some areas of biology."--Jacket.
