[SI-LIST] Good physical description of skin effect

Hi guys, 
I have been given a text entitled 'Classical Electrodynamics' Authored
by John Jackson, it is an excellent text for describing and deriving all
EM related matters.  No application to our SI related issues but is
excellent for finding out say how a field solver would work etc.

It has a section which describes where the skin depth symbol 'delta'
comes from however the description in beyond my understanding and loses
me early on.  Does anyone have a good link or information source for me
that would be able to derive the skin depth equation in terms of
physics?

Many thanks in advance

Mark
