Recommended Literature

Abstract

This chapter requires a clear statement at the beginning: The recommended literature of this chapter is neither complete nor should it understood as a ranking. It merely reflects the author’s very personal preferences. Only those books and papers have been included which have been found most useful by the author, and which were always in the near of his desk. Some aspects of electromagnetic wave scattering are not considered in the book at hand, and some aspects are only mentioned. The following list of recommended literature is therefore also aimed to provide the interested reader with additional information and more detailed considerations. It must be also stated that the following classification of the books and papers is not always unique. Even in the cited monographs there are often considered several of the subjects used in this chapter for the classification. The citation of a book in a certain section is again owed to the author’s personal point of view. Some of the cited literature are commented to emphasize those aspects which seem to be most important for a certain subject in conjunction with the book at hand.
