At the moment the first issue of this book appears, hundreds of groups around the world are pushing the boundaries of the field of surface plasmon nanophotonics. The newfound ability to use metallic nanostructures to manipulate light at a length scale far below the diffraction limit has opened a myriad of exciting opportunities. Based on the exponential increase in the number of published papers every year (Chapter 1), it is clear that we are at the eve of a new revolution that will impact many fields of science and technology, including photonics, computation, the Internet, biology, medicine, materials science, physics, chemistry, and photovoltaics. It has been a great pleasure and honor to work with some of the leading scientists in the field during the preparation of this work. The book truly reflects the present status of this rapidly developing area of science and technology and highlights some of the important historic developments.
