The contents of this book are indicated in its title. The object in the main is to indicate how concepts such as planar resonators, \(n\)-port reciprocal circuits and gyromagnetic circuits may be analyzed. The book is divided into nineteen chapters and accordingly I feel it better to give an indication of some of the topics covered, rather than a detailed discussion of each chapter. The problems discussed in the book are mainly irregular planar microwave circuits with one or two ground plates and a single centre conductor metallisation. Consequently, the analysis can be reduced to the solution of a Helmholtz differential equation. The book opens with a set of chapters defining the type of problems to be solved. Included here is a detailed discussion of impedance and scattering matrices and associated topics. This is followed by discussions on the evaluation and the application of Green's functions. Particular, attention is paid as to how Green's functions may be developed for a variety of different shapes of areas and it is indicated how the concepts may be extended to gyromagnetic circuits. Following on this there are a number of chapters indicating how the calculus of variations and the Rayleigh-Ritz process may be used to provide approximate solutions. In this part of the book, the idea of functionals is introduced, the concept of finite element approximation is discussed and an outline is given of the software requirements given for some simple problems. The author illustrates the concepts involved by paying particular attention to cloverleaf resonators. There then follows a miscellaneous selection of topics -- gyromagnetic circuits, function circulators, the contour integral method as applied to triangular resonators. Subsequently, there are chapters on how to obtain network parameters by using the mutual energy method, and discussions of non-reciprocal circuits and gyromagnetic wave guides. The book closes with a short chapter on the algebraic topics used. This is an interesting book and it will no doubt be of considerable use as a reference source to those working in the field. There are, scattered throughout the work a number of diagrams, some illustrating the accuracy of finite element approximations, and a number of tables which will be of considerable use. Some of the book is due to R. Lyon, D. Lynch and A. A. P. Gibson, but they do not receive any credit on the title pages. There are over a hundred references and suggestions for further reading but it would be helpful had the author indicated in the text in all cases, where they are relevant. It is unfortunate that the book is marred by careless proof reading -- for example there is no term on the right-hand sides of the equations 11.8 and the price of the book may well put it out of the reach of individuals and many libraries.
