This review covers the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of radiative electromagnetic processes in amorphous and inhomogeneous media obtained after the monograph [1] came out. Bremsstrahlung with the inclusion of the Landau-Pomeranchuk effect, the longitudinal density effect, Ginzburg-Frank transition radiation, and other underlying effects are discussed. Also considered are radiative processes involving optical and γ -ray radiation occurring because of fluctuations of the medium parameters or other types of inhomogeneities in the passage of a uniformly moving charged particle through a medium. The review is intended for a wide circle of readers: experimenters, theorists, and senior students.
