A Do-it-Yourself book

For the amateur holographer, the authors of this practical manual emphasize a simple and easy method of creating three-dimensional laser photographs. Although some information on laser technology and holographic theory is included, the book in general supplies step-by-step instructions on holography basics and identifies elementary equipment and supplies. A real hologram is to be included in each copy. Suppliers and resource addresses are noted. Bibliography, glossary, index.

Excellent Reference

The first book ever published with a full color full parallax hologram on the cover.
* Describes all the different types of holograms and how they are made.
* Gives updates on the latest technology in holography.
* Has over 20 sample holograms from manufacturers bound in the book.
* Has a worldwide database of all the businesses involved in holography (over 900).

The latest edition presents many changes: an enhanced layout, new contributions and hologram science, numerous samples, and addresses of all hologram companies in the world. As a standard library reference, it packs in everything businesses need for acquiring, selling and understanding holographs and their applications.

Very theoretical

Dr. Winston Kock's lucid introduction to lasers and holography begins with a clear discussion of wave patterns and coherence. Then the development of lasers is summarized, along with the phenomenon of wave diffraction. Using language that can be readily understood by high school and junior high school students, Dr. Kock has written a brief, yet authoritative volume that should satisfy anyone's curiosity about this burgeoning field.
