Résumé
The author's approach is friendly and direct, with numerous marginal notes that illuminate particular aspects of the subject, or give brief biographical backgrounds to the pioneers of various techniques who might otherwise remain only names. Mathematical formulae have been kept to a minimum and any derivations of them (for the benefit of the curious) have been quarantined in boxes, which those readers who become nervous at the sight of a Greek letter or a square root sign can skip. A section at the end of each chapter points the reader towards a selection of the best material for further study.
The Science of Imaging - An Introduction is essential reading if you are enrolled on a course where imaging plays an important part, if you are involved in teaching such a course, or if you are an amateur enthusiast wishing to know more of the principles under lying the images you make.

L'auteur - Graham Saxby
Graham Saxby spent 27 years in the RAF, first as a
photographer carrying out almost every possible kind of
assignment; then, after being commissioned as a technical
education officer, as Officer Commanding Photographic
Science Flight at the RAF School of Photography. On leaving
the Service in 1974 he joined the staff of what is now the
University of Wolverhampton, teaching educational
technology and, later, modern optics. His researches in
display holography earned him an international reputation
in the field. Now formally retired, he operates as a
freelance editor of technical books and as a consultant in
optical and photographic, matters. He is the author of a
number of books on holography and photography, and is a
regular contributor to photographic journals.
