This second edition is completely revised and improved and contains eight new chapters and six new appendixes. In addition to the theoretical background on light propagation through diffusive media, this update also provides new didactical material, including:

• A comprehensive statistical approach to the photon penetration depth in diffusive media.
• An introduction to anomalous transport.
• An anisotropic transport approach within the framework of diffusion theory.
• An introduction to the invariance properties of radiative transfer in non-absorbing media.
• A...
