Natural Focusing and Fine Structure of Light: Caustics and Wave Dislocations
This is a well-presented and beautifully illustrated book, which treats in detail a relatively new branch of optics … This is a book which every physics library should hold and which any academic searching for a stimulating optics experiment should consult.-The PhysicistIt is very carefully written and excellently illustrated, and the publishers have been equally conscientious in the overall presentation of the book.-Francis J. Wright, American Journal of PhysicsThe book can be warmly recommended to anyone who wants to learn about caustics in optical fields, who wants to learn about experiments in this field, and who wants to get new ideas for further theoretical and practical investigations.-Zentralblatt Math, vol. 984
