5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem in Time!, March 6, 2002
By 
F. G. Major (Severna Park, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this excellent translation from the original French to be a most authoritative and lucid treatment of the physics and metrology of time on a superior technical level, by two of the most prominent figures in the field. It gives comprehensive coverage of atomic frequency standards including the most recent advances involving cold atoms and trapped ions, such as the the cesium "fountain" and mercury ion standards. I consider this book essential reading for anyone with an ambition to become steeped in the field, and offers a more technically sophisticated treatment than is attempted, for example, in a book such as "Quantum Beat".
