This volume is presented as a tribute to "two icons from the world of optics"--in the words of editors Harvey (Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers, U. of Central Florida) and Hooker (electrical and computer and engineering, U. of Colorado)--both of whom have been affiliated with the Optical Sciences Center at the U. of Arizona. Twenty-one papers from a tribute conference, some highly technical and others more personal, detail the honorees contributions to optics and optics education. These are followed by 45 journal article reprints authored by Bob Shannon and Roland Shack or their students in the technical areas of optical design and analysis, image evaluation, applications of the marginal ray height--chief ray height diagram, optical testing, optical fabrication, phased telescope arrays, aberration theory, propagation effects in the atmosphere, and diffraction/surface scatter phenomena. Finally, 14 short, informal "anecdotes and accolades" of the two scientists are presented from the conference and elsewhere. Annotation :2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
