Joseph M. Geary

Willmann-Bell, 2002

I was lucky that I found that book
This "Introduction to Lens Design" is both, an introduction to optics and an introduction how to work with the ZEMAX optical CAD software. The book starts with basic explanations of lenses and glasses, describes various lens aberrations, and covers a wide field of practical optics applications. The required mathematic skills are moderate, nevertheless there will be no leaks and holes left in ...

The Art of Game Design: A Deck of Lenses

Jesse Schell

Schell Games, 2008

Brilliant Design Aid
This product is brilliant on any number of levels. The idea of applying "lenses", or different ways of looking at design issues is wonderful all by itself, but it is very clear that Professor Schell has given a great deal of thought to each of the lenses in the deck, and designed approaches and questions that really force the designer to look hard at her/his work, probably in a way that never ...

Triad Publishing Company Inc, 1991

I wish I had read this sooner
I read this during my second year of ophthalmology residency and found it to be incredibly useful. It is easy to read with real, hilarious cases to explain the optics. The authors have a great sense of humor. Believe it or not, optics can be funny. I checked it out from our library, but bought my own copy for home because it is so good.

Excellent intelligent way to think
Clearly states in intelligent terms the way of thinking of the MAyans. Living with the 13 moons a year,as they appear in the sky, rather than the HAllmark version for 12 per year etc, allows the bodies circadian rhythms to keep the body healthy. Worth studying.

Roger Hicks, Frances Schultz

David & Charles UK, 1994

This book cures lens angst.
Lens angst. Do all photographers suffer this affliction? Those who don't probably have enough money to buy all the lenses they want. Those who do, however, should buy this book. It begins with a good guide to lens optics in general, and then discusses 35mm lenses according to focal length, explaining what they do and the applications to which they are best suited. Hicks and Schultz obviously ...

William J. Kaufmann

W H Freeman & Co (Sd), 1979

Best Book I've Ever Read
I am a huge astronomy nerd and I must say that cannot learn well by reading. I have a hard time choosing books which explain things the way I can understand them. That doesnt mean I need things simplified for me, I can understand complicated things much better. Anyway, this book covers topics in the area of stellar birth and death, and black holes. It is an absolute MUST HAVE for a hard core ...

Electron and Ion Optics (Microdevices)

1 review
Miklos Szilagyi

Springer, 1988

A well written,self-contained and up-to-date ion optics book
The first worth of this book is that it never takes for granted anything: the author gives in the first chapters all the classical mechanics background you need, and from there he tackles the electron optic problems from different angles, always plainly and patiently. A rare case of an author who really wants that you learn and not that you think how much he is clever.

Ghester Sartorius

Editrice Reflex SRL,Italy, 1999

Well researched and concise
Mr. Sartorius has produced a concise and easy to read book. He has made a reasonable attempt to categorise the lenses in a logical and well-illstrated manner. The book largely succeeds at the difficult task of covering the myriad variations of Leica lenses, especially the screw-mount and early M-mount lenses. There is a rarity grading system and best of all, the lens diagrams of the featured ...

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2002

Clear, concise and complete review of lensing
This book is a perfect presentation about gravitational lensing. It is complete and pedagogical description. The authors go into detail but without loosing the non-experts that are trying to understand these effects and processes. I strongly recommend it.
