"The sequence of chapters in this Thirteenth Edition is identical to that in the previous edition. Personality profiles continue with every chapter, highlighting a scientist, teacher, or historical figure who complements the chapter material. Each chapter begins with a photo mon…
The nature of light -- Photometry -- Reflection & refraction -- Simple optical instruments -- Microscope and telescope -- The photographic camera -- Appendix -- Conventions and notations.
This first volume of the series Lectures in Optics serves to introduce the simplest optical phenomena and the simplest optical instruments. Rectilinear propagation, reflection, and refraction dominate optical effects in nature and are essential to understanding the function of s…
Refraction in a spherical interface -- Lens refraction and power -- Imaging definitions -- Imaging with lenses -- Imaging with mirrors -- Thick lenses and lens systems -- Finite transverse optics -- Optical aberration. "This second volume of the series Lectures in Optics provid…
"This second volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a comprehensive presentation of the Geometrical Optics effects. It discusses refraction and reflection off a single surface, flat and spherical. Then the essential building elements of optical power and beam vergence …

This book is aimed at students and researchers who wish to use reflectance and emittance as quantitative tools to measure the properties of surfaces and materials. It is intended primarily for use in the interpretation of remote observations of the surfaces of the Earth and othe…
"Arnaud Maillet's The Claude Glass is a contribution to the history of Western visual culture. In this first full-length study of a largely forgotten optical device from the eighteenth-century, Maillet reconfigures our historical understanding of visual experience and meaning in…
