This is a fascinating book giving a wealth of details and examples of polarisation . . . There are wonderful colour photographs . . . Teachers will find this an interesting source of valuable information, well beyong what is found in most textbooks. Good students will find it fascinating reading but going well beyond what they will require for examinations. Geoff Auty in School Science Review David Pye's slim volume belongs to that rarest category of books that facture an inviting desciption of physical Phenomena, simple demonstrations, lucid explanations and a coherent story line ... Pye's deft descriptions and the photogenic opulence of optical phenomena ensure that physics is never short-changed in this volume ... a profusion of illustrations in straightforward language .. all optics researchers should buy this book ... ideal gift to steer undergraduate and gradute students toward the study of optics.
