This is a very comprehensive book on all aspects of solar sailing. The first chapter is a borad summary discussing principles, history, practicality, applications, and future direction. The following chapters go into great depth - both in discussion and mathematics - on light pressure, design (including many historical designs) and steering, orbital mechanics, "non-Keplerian" orbits, mission case studies, and laser-driven sails. Look at the table of contents and cover for a preview:
