shows how “precision”— that holy grail—keeps evading our reach. With other examples of materials research, Ramirez bridges Abraham Lincoln, a patent race between Sir Henry Bessemer and William Kelly, and the advent of Christmas caroling. She traces the evolution of materials for photography as they affected the progress and regression of social bias in the United States and South Africa. In addition, a recurring theme in the book is how materials change the “shape of data,” which subsequently changes the human brain, concerns of which are still under intense research. What makes the book a fun read is not just the “information,” but also the

his book is a unique part of a series of “emerging theories and technologies in metamaterials.” This series provides systematic coverage of new and emerging topics in metamaterials, which is a timely elaboration of metamaterials for scientists, engineers, and students. The presentation of recent and desirable details is given in a logical and systematic manner in six sections. It encompasses the basics and present day technological updates that show how the experimental ideas of metamaterials applications can be realized. Theoretical concepts and solid-state physics-based details of metamaterials are introduced in Section 1, which highlights the desired details on metamaterials, plasmonics, and spoof surface plasmons (SSPs). An in-depth section on theoretical

formalism is given in Section 2. These two sections provide the background necessary for understanding the subject. Sections 3 and 4 provide a thorough description of SSPs in flat geometries, providing an understanding of waveguide-related SSPs. Section 3 focuses on the basic interpretation of SSPs on various flat configurations viz. flat surfaces (straight/slanted groves/square dimples), perforated slabs, and related SSP metamaterial parameters. Further, it provides information on the preparation of flat SSP metamaterials. The approach discussed in the section enables the reader to interpret various configurations and applications of plasmonic metamaterials. Section 4 elaborates on the theoretical aspects of SSP waveguides, with a focus on cylindrical geometries and experimental work reported in the literature. It directs the reader to correlate the theory of metamaterials to cases close to the application of SSP metamaterials. It describes cases
stories Ramirez tells. As a writer, I’m mesmerized by the choices she makes to connect with the general reader, which I’m sure to probe later in the MRS Bulletin blog, MaterialsConnect.org. I can see this book making it to the “gift list” for (1) fam
