"Practical Holography" is a fully comprehensive text suitable for those involved in holography at any level, from the interested amateur to the practising research scientist. At its most basic level, the book introduces the principles behind holography, and takes the reader on a step-by-step course through the materials, equipment and techniques required to produce their own holograms. The treatment is written from a purely practical viewpoint, with the mathematical content kept to a minimum. At a more advanced level, the later chapters of the book are a valuable reference for research scientists working with holographic techniques in all applications. The third edition of this classic volume has been revised to reflect the changes in the technology available.
