Kritik
From the reviews:
"Beech ... eases readers into the topic after explaining the well-known behavior of light and giving examples of tricks of optics from magic, art, and nature. ... This book is packed with fascinating examples of current work and possibilities for the future. Drawings and photographs help illustrate the physics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; general readers." (M. Dickinson, Choice, Vol. 49 (10), June, 2012)mehr
