Light Scattering by Small Particles (Dover Books on Physics)

I cannot recommend this eBook version of a classic textbook - it is full of errors. Most equations appear as images, but some seem to have been rewritten or OCR'ed because they appear in a different, crisper font. The problem is that I found plenty of errors in these equations: derivatives (primes) appear where there shouldn't be any, plus signs change to equal signs, and so on. (I verified this with a print edition from the library.) The eBook is therefore completely unusable for the research scientist - do not buy!Also, the digital version did not have any page numbers, despite the statement, found on the product page, that "In this edition, page numbers are just like the physical edition" - not true, beware!

This was a Father's Day gift for my dear husband. He was really happy to get this. Dear Hubs is a scientist so this is fun reading for him.

Useful for people that work with scattered light from many types of scattering particles. Good for a summary and equation viewpoint, less useful if you want a deep derivation.

okay, this book is highly utilized by a great deal of people in the field, but i find the book lacking in readability. It generalizes far too much. It gives too little detail. It reminds me of an outline for a scattering text book. It is a reference text in the truest sense of the word. It's obvious intent is a reminder for those who already know the information, but it is so generalized...it alone is not very useful for the student learning scattering.

Highly recommended!!!

good

Classic!! Thorough!! Really nothing more to say about this book.If you decided to buy this book, then I'm sure you already know what this book is about and how classic it is.Help me a lot for understanding and programming for the Mie scattering.

Excellent.

The book is very helpful for everybody who works on the field of light-particle-scattering on scales larger than single molecules. It covers many important sub topics without going too much into detail. For example, it does not only give an introduction to the Mie Theory with corresponding formulas, it also adresses non-spherical particles and provides a very rich and well commented bibliography for further reading.

Ormai libro datato, ma di sicuro un must. Primeggia in chiarezza e facilità di spiegazioni.Utilissimo soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi col light scattering.Un libro incredibile!

Il libro è molto bello, chiaro nei concetti anche se non molto nelle spiegazioni.L'unica nota negativa è la rilegatura che col passare del tempo potrebbe cedere, quindi può essere migliorata.

It's a good book.

A well-written book by an acknowledged expert on light scattering.
