Abstract

The reviewed book deals with the scattering and absorption of light by small particles as well as with the radiative transfer process. These phenomena are fundamental to the study of disperse systems of various natures. That is why the results obtained are important in a very wide range of applications in optics of atmosphere and ocean, cell biology, colloidal chemistry, astrophysics, and astronomy. The well-thought-out structure of the text, happy choice of topics, precise definitions introduced preceding every consideration, and numerous useful tables make it possible to recommend the book for researchers in many fields.
