Average rating of 5/5 A truly original and groundbreaking work--mandatory reading., 1998-05-12
I first encountered Fleck's work while I was a doctoral student at NYU. The clarity and orginality of his thoughts completely captivated me. This work is truly one which has changed my life and my way of thinking. Fleck was indeed a pioneer and prophet--I continually re-read "Genesis & Development of A Scientific Fact," each time gaining greater insight and appreciation for its depth and scope. Fleck's monograph is truly an original and groundbreaking tour de force--mandatory reading from a true (but sadly overlooked) genious.

Average rating of 4/5 good for anyone interested in lasers, 2000-10-05
It is realy hard to find a book in this subject matter that is sufficient for eveybodies requirements, and this book is not either. But this is just because laser physics has realy got a large content. On the other hand, this book has achieved to pick as many fields as possible with a good presentation, and it is not usefull for only advanced undergraduates, but graduates as well. It presents the laser theory, types and applications of lasers ranging from diode lasers to free electron lasers, properties of laser beams and applications of lasers in optoelectronics. All of these aspects are likely to be presented in their own volumes. Its presentation is neither extraworded nor higly mathematical. If you are a beginner, this book probably is the right point.
