Description: This work is the first comprehensive treatment of screening, particularly with respect to out-of-equilibrium systems. It is divided into two parts. The first outlines the principles of screening at equilibrium or near equilibrium, while the second is devoted to the case of strong deviations from equilibrium. A great strength of this text is its unique interdisciplinary exposition, which sometimes leads to an unconventional presentation of classical results.

Following the introduction of each major concept, applications to different subject areas are described and further developed by problems, with solutions provided. The extensive list of references will be useful to both graduate students and researchers. It should appeal to scientists and engineers from the areas of solid state physics, materials science, electrical engineering, electrochemistry, and biophysics.
