The present book under review consists of an enlarged new (second) edition of his book published first in 1991 (not reviewed in Zbl) under the same title. It is devoted to the study of nonlinear electromagnetic phenomena which are not addressed, in general, in introductory books of electromagnetic theory. The focus is on the general principles and, hence, many technical points were set aside. Thus it may be thought of as a bridge between the classical textbooks on electromagnetic theory and more specialized texts full of detail. Besides some introductory remarks (Sec. 1) and three rather large appendices devoted to the: (A) Structure of the wave vector and frequency dependent dielectric tensor, (B) Aspects of the sine-Gordon equation, and (C) Structure of the electromagnetic Green's function, the book involves ten main sections devoted to: Linear dielectric response of matter (Sec. 2), Nonlinear dielectric response of matter (Sec. 3), Basic principles of nonlinear wave interactions (Sec. 4), Inelastic scattering of light from matter (Sec. 5), Interaction of atoms with nearly resonant fields (Sec. 6), Self-interaction effects in one-dimensional wave propagation (Sec. 7), Nonlinear optical interactions at surfaces and interfaces (Sec. 8), Optical interactions in magnetic materials (Sec. 9), and Chaos (Sec. 10). At the end of each section there are some unsolved problems which may be used and interesting for graduate students who want to work on the subject by themselves. Notice that the sections 8 and 9, which address rather new subjects grown substantially after the first edition of the book, were not included in the first edition. The book addresses readers familiar with the classical electromagnetic theory as well as the Fourier transform technique. Thus it is especially useful for graduate students who wish to pursue thesis research in optics or laser spectroscopy. In addition to those, the book may also be useful to general graduate students in both physical sciences and electrical engineering, by introducing them to nonlinear optics, and at the same time, providing them with an introduction to general aspects of the physics of nonlinear systems. Note that the unit system used in the book is not the internationally accepted rationalized MKSI system. This fact may create a difficulty (not important!) for readers who are familiar with the modern unit system.
