Colin Bayliss and Brian Hardy have produced a unique and comprehensive handbook aimed squarely at the engineers and planners involved in all aspects of getting electricity from the power plant to the user via the power grid. The resulting book is an essential read, and a hard-working reference for all engineers, technicians, managers and planners involved in electricity utilities, and related areas such as generation, and industrial electricity usage.

    Emphasizing the engineering nature of wavelet analysis so that it can be applied to all engineering disciplines, this text is intended for advanced undergraduates but has sufficient detail for practising engineers and features wide-ranging applications such as signal processing, image processing, electromagnetic wave scattering, and boundary-value problems.
