5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best introductions to the field,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tools of Radio Astronomy (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library,) (Hardcover)
Although Rohlfs and Wilson have only made perfunctory changesbetween this and the previous edition of the book, it still stands asone of the best introductions to the field of radio astronomy. It still doesn't cover some topics (such as calibration techniques) as well as I would have liked, and Kraus' _Radio Astronomy_ (2e) does a better job (IMHO) on the mathematical details as well as specific applications. Because of its length, the topics of millimeter and submillimeter astronomy are not covered in as much as centimeter wavelengths. However despite all this, the book is highly readable for a student in the field, and is invaluable to have on one's bookshelf, or even to take observing (for those who only dabble in radio astronomy).

4.0 out of 5 stars
A "must have" for RA. business,

This review is from: Tools of Radio Astronomy (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library) (Hardcover)
this is one of the fundamental books you have to have in your library... if you are a "Radio Astronomy" guy (Engineer, astronomer,etc). However sometimes it can be a little bit complex (compared to its newest 5th edition), but still an excellent book.
