Heterogeneous Materials I Linear Transport and Optical Properties

From the reviews:

"This work represents the first part of an impressive two-volume book that describes various theoretical and computational approaches related to effective macroscopic properties of heterogeneous materials. … A main goal is to compare two fundamental directions used to study the heterogeneous materials properties, namely the continuum mechanics approach and the discrete model approach. … This multidisciplinary book is recommended to materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, and applied physicists and mathematicians."
