About this book
Not only from an academic or an educational point of view, the book is useful also to engineers working in such fields as electrical discharges and their applications, high voltage equipment in DC and AC circuits as well as electrostatic devices. This is because the book introduces various practical applications related to electrostatic fields.
The original ideas of the book are based on the following Japanese book written by one of author; T. Takuma: Panorama of Electric Fields (in Japanese) IEE, Japan, 2003. This English version of the book has been thoroughly revised and improved with several new questions added.

About the authors
Dr. Takuma received the Maxwell Premium from the Institution of Electrical Engineers, Great Britain in 1974, and three times the book prize from the IEE (the Institute of Electrical Engineers), Japan in 1981, 1991 and 2011, and Commendation from the Minister of State for Science and Technology, Japan in 1992. He is a Fellow of IEEE.
Takatoshi Shindo was born in Tokyo, Japan on November 21, 1953. He received the B. S. degree and M. E. degree in electrical engineering and Ph. D. degree in engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in 1976, 1978, and 1992, respectively. He joined the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry(CRIEPI),Tokyo, Japan, in 1978. He has been engaged in the study of external insulation of power apparatus, particularly with regard to lightning protection, physics of discharge in long air gaps. From 1987 to 1988, he was a Research Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Florida. He is now a Research Advisor Emeritus of CRIEPI. Dr. Shindo is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and a Fellow of IEEE.
