Chapters include

1) Introduction
2) EM theory (it can't replace a decent EM theory book)
3) Absorption and scattering by an arbitrary particle
4) Absorption and scattering by a sphere
5) Particles small compared to the wavelenght
6) Rayleig-Gans theory
7) Geometrical optics
8) A potpurri of particles
9) Classical theories of optical constants
10) Measured optical properties
11) Extinction
12) Surface modes in small particles
13) Angular dependance of scattering.
14) Miscellaneous applications.

It's seriously heavy unless you are good at maths. It might appeal to those studying astronomy, weather, or as I did tissue optics - human tissue scatters and absorbs light.

Given the cost, I suggest you look at a copy first, before deciding to buy it. If you need it, the book is good, but it really is only of use if you are doing PhD or similar level research in the area.

It's the sort of book a group doing research in an area can justify buying, but less so an individual who has to pay from his or her own pocket.
