'Terahertz Physics has several advantages over many broad overview books. First, [it] is designed as a university textbook and is mathematically rigorous ... it gives the book depth and a solid foundation. Second, [it] contains exercises and examples that engage the student and further understanding. Finally ... Lewis has clearly written the book to make sure that students absorb the information ... [it] is written in a casual style, which enhances the flow and makes it easy to read.' Alfy Riddle, IEEE Microwave Magazine 'The author provides a careful explanation of basic concepts and their associated mathematical formulations. Attention is then given to key features which emerge in the terahertz regime. Lewis addresses the reader directly, which is a novel and refreshing way to present the material. This book is suitable for self-study, so it may also be useful for those outside the target audience. Its utility is enhanced by the fact that the author has succeeded in capturing the essence of the topic in fewer than 300 pages.' K.
