Proceedings of the ESA-IEJ Joint Symposium on Electrostatics
by J. M. Crowley, K. Asano, A. Seaver, and T. Oda, eds.
In June of 1994 the Electrostatic Society of America and the Institute of Electrostatic-Japan bridged the Pacific Ocean to hold their first joint symposium in Palo Alto, California. Read all their papers and discover a cross section of the world of electrostatics in this comprehensive record of the proceedings, the first ever presented by the ESA.
