A Few Reviews Of The Holography Handbook
*************************************************************************
Scientific American
"Holography Handbook: Making Holograms The Easy Way by Fred
Unterseher,
Jeannene Hansen and Bob Schlesinger, is rich in detail about how to produce all kinds of
hologram on a limited budget."
***************************************************************************
Booklist (the American Library Association Magazine)
"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. More complex techniques are described but not detailed in depth. A real hologram
is to be included in each copy. Suppliers and resource addresses are noted. Bibliography,
glossary, index. JB"

Library Journal
"This comprehensive book is a guide for non-technical people who wish to create their
own holograms. Although holograms involve complex scientific principles, the authors
describe and illustrate practical methods suitable for a "handy" person at a
relatively modest cost. Explicit information is given on equipment required and where to
get it, how to construct optical tables, and how to make and display various types of
holograms. A clear style and many explanatory diagrams and illustrations make the projects
easy to follow. For those interested in theory the authors provide a section with a
commonsense approach. Another section relating holography to the human brain and to
cosmology will intrigue many who have an interest beyond the mechanics of holograms.
Recommended."

"Everything you need to know to act out your own white-coat fantasies of laboratory
wizardry is contained in a user-friendly text called the Holography Handbook by
Fred Unterseher, Jeannene Hansen and Bob Schlesinger (Ross Books, P.O. Box 4340, Berkeley,
CA.)."

New Scientist
"The Holography Handbook coincides with the increasing interest in
making hologram by individuals with little or no technical background. It serves to
educate and is supremely capable of doing so, by explaining in readable and succinct terms
how to make numerous different holograms. The illustrations, diagrams and text take you
gently through each step, including: the selection of a location to make holograms, how to
build or where to acquire the equipment needed, what to do with it once you have it, for
how long, and the results to expect. It covers basic and advanced procedures, recommends
approaches both optically and chemically and offers alternatives."
