of a range of interesting phenomena, including extraordinary transmission through subwavelength
apertures and negative refraction in both periodically corrugated surfaces and plasmonic structures. Naturally, a chapter on cloaking is included. The book is very well produced and includes
several striking color illustrations.

Quantum Dynamic Imaging:
Theoretical and Numerical Methods
André D. Bandraul and Misha Ivanov, eds., Springer, 2011; $129.00 (hardcover).
This volume brings together lectures by invited speakers at the first workshop held in Canada on
quantum dynamic imaging. The subtitle Theoretical and Numerical Methods clearly states the focus
of the book: the theoretical and mathematical problems associated with the imaging of quantum phenomena in matter with the aim of effecting imaging with subfemtosecond temporal and sub-Angstrom
spatial resolution. For example, biological processes involving proton motion can be observed on femtosecond timescales, whereas electron motion in chemical binding occurs on subfemtosecond timescales. This book presents an impressive array of theoretical tools that can be applied in this context.
The contributors have clearly thought carefully about clearly presenting their work. Most readers will
be able to appreciate the value of the various techniques. However, researchers in this field will benefit
the most from this useful and usable volume.
