The rapid growth of the subject since the first edition ten years
ago has made it necessary to rewrite the greater part of the book.
Except for the introductory portion and the section on Mott
scattering, the book has been completely revised. In Chap. 3,
sections on polarization violating reflection symmetry, on
resonance scattering, and on inelastic processes have been added.
Chapter 4 has been rewritten, taking account of the numerous novel
results obtained in exchange scattering. Chapter 5 includes the
recent discoveries on photoelectron polarization produced by
unpolarized radiation with unpolarized targets and on
Auger-electron polarization. In Chap. 6, a further discussion of
relativistic polarization phenomena has been added to the book. The
immense growth of polarization studies with solids and surfaces
required an extension and new presentation of Chap. 7. All but one
section of Chap. 8 has been rewritten and a detailed treatment of
polarization analysis has been included. Again, a nearly
comprehensive treatment has been attempted. Even so, substantial
selectivity among the wide range of available material has been
essential in order to accomplish a compact presentation. The
reference list, selected along the same lines as in the first
edition, is meant to lead the reader through the literature giving
a guide for finding further references. I want to express my
indebtedness to a number of people whose help has been invaluable.
