From the reviews:

“Metamaterials and plasmonics are hot topics of modern optics, each accounting for hundreds of papers in the past few years. This book analyzes the synergies between the two areas of research. … The book contains seven parts, each of which includes contributions by experts in the field addressing devices and applications of plasmonics or metamaterials. … This book is clear and accessible to a large number of readers. … a valuable asset to any library of a university.” (Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, September, 2009)
