Reissued to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original publication of "Dielectrics and Waves". A comprehensive coverage of a subject that crosses the fields of chemistry, physics and engineering and will be valuable to anyone with an interest in dielectric engineering.
One aspect of this book that I particularly like is that Hippel derives fairly simple expressions for the dielectric constant directly from Maxwell's Equations. Though somewhat detailed, a student with a good college sophomore level E&M course
