Surface waves have detected and measured in every realm of engineering be it in ocean, seismic, plasma physics, or in electromagnetic studies. The analytical estimation of these waves has been done all over in literature, but these theoretical papers have concentrated on only one or the other aspect of these waves. This book caters to those who like to get a feel for the analytical analysis of surface waves starting from the most basic isotropic modelling to anisotropic substrates and finally ending at spatially dispersive substrates. Hopefully this book will help in the building of the theory needed to study surface waves in different material types listed above.
