3.0 out of 5 stars
Generally good,
This review is from: High Speed Photography and Photonics (SPIE Press Monograph Vol. PM120) (Paperback)
It's not a bad book. The author tries to encompass everything. Reading the book, it rapidly becomes clear the parts that are written from research rather than experience. This does not mean it's a bad book; on the contrary, it's really quite good. It has severe limitations in many areas where the author really does not appear to be quite certain of his subject matter. I have this book and used it as a starting point in the research for a book I wrote, myself. As an example, the section on Schlieren imaging is rather obscure. There are websites that explain it more clearly though I cannot vouch for their accuracy as I have not myself done any Schlieren imaging (this will be attempted later). This book is an EXCELLENT starting point for anybody seriously interested in researching high-speed imaging. As far as practical high-speed imaging is concerned, if somebody wants to try it then there are better instructional books available.
