Kritik
From the reviews of the second edition:



"This revision is a very complete account of the evolution of frequency and time measurement with emphasis on the development of atomic clocks. ... The 20 chapters include a wide range of topics starting with a brief history of time measurements. ... Complete index, extensive references, list of suggested readings by topic. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical program students." (R. L. Stearns, CHOICE, Vol. v4 (3), November, 2007)mehr

Fouad G. Major pioneered the application of ion field confinement to microwave spectroscopy. He made the first observation of microwave resonance in trapped mercury ions as a reference for a spacecraft atomic clock at NASA laboratory(1969). Awarded the NASA "Apollo Achievement Award" 1970 and was guest researcher at the Laboratoire de l'Horloge Atomique in Orsay, France.
