In their successful text, Shen and Kong cover fundamentals of static and dynamic electromagnetism fields and waves. The authors employ a unique approach, beginning with a study of Maxwell's equations and waves and covering electromagnetic fields later. This presentation allows students to work with electromagnetic concepts using relatively simple computational analysis, building in a logical progression to more complex topics and mathematical methods for analysis. The Third Edition provides computer-based problems, homework problems, end-of-chapter summaries, and a rich collection of real-world application examples that include discussion of cellular phone and microwave exposure limits set by IEEE; safety concerns about electromagnetic fields from power lines; new and powerful magnets; and single-mode optical fibers.

The first single-volume guide to the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of microwave remote sensing, combining detailed coverage of mathematical derivations relevant to propagation and scattering in physical media with physical examples and practical applications to microwave theory. Covers scattering and emission by layered media, radiative transfer theory, solutions to radiative transfer equations with applications to remote sensing, analytic wave theory for scattering by layered random media, and scattering by random discrete scatterers.

Electrical engineering educator
Kong, Jin Au was born on December 27, 1942 in Kiangsu, China. Son of Chin-Hwu and Shue C. Kong.
He received his Bachelor of Science from the National Taiwan University in 1962, his Mississippi from the National Chiao Tung University in 1965, and his Doctor of Philosophy from Syracuse University in 1968. At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kong supervised about 50 Doctor of Philosophy theses and 90 Master theses.
He was a 74th-generation lineal descendent of the famous Chinese philosopher Confucius (551 British Columbia – 479 British Columbia). His thesis supervisor was Doctorate.K. Cheng. Kong did his postdoctoral research at Syracuse University as well from 1968 to 1969.
From 1969 to 1971, he was the Vinton Hayes Postdoctoral Fellow of Engineering.
Kong then moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he remained for the rest of his academic career, as assistant professor from 1969 to 1973, associate professor from 1973 to 1980, and promoted to full professor in 1980. From 1977 until his death in 2008, Kong served as a United Nations high-level consultant to the undersecretary-general, as well as an interregional advisor on remote sensing technology for the United Nations Department of Technical Cooperation for Development.
From 1984 to 2003, he was the chairman of Area IV on Energy and Electromagnetic Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1989 until 2008, Kong was director of the Center for Electromagnetic Theory and Applications in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kong was president of The Electromagnetics Academy from 1989 to 2008. He also founded the Academy"s China branch at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, known as The Electromagnetics Academy at Zhejiang University, serving as its dean from 2003 to 2008.
Kong was also the chairman of the Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS), from 1989 to 2008.
From 1987 to 2008, he was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications. He was also chief editor for Progress In Electromagnetics Research"s (PIER) series (1989–2008), chief editor for Progress In Electromagnetics Research (PIER) Letters, B, M, C in 2008, and chief editor for PIERS Online from 2005 to 2008.
