"This is a fascinating book by an internationally renowned scholar and experienced educator in the field of complex photonics. It offers a well-balanced, extensive treatment of this exciting multidisciplinary topic in terms of electromagnetic scattering and diffraction phenomena in spatially aperiodic structures, with connection to the mathematical foundations in geometry and number theory, and with a view towards applications in optical devices and photonic technology. I highly recommend this book as an informative source for those working in this field and as an inspirational gateway for those interested in entering this research area." – Nader Engheta, University of Pennsylvania

"Anna Thornton’s book is the book we have always wanted for our hardware entrepreneurs. Most books about launching new products focus on the software and services side. A lot of the advice in those books does not translate directly to hardware entrepreneurship. Hardware is hard and teams need to learn how to work around the unique challenges of managing the transition from prototyping to mass production, and managing hardware operations with its unique cash flow challenges and impact on unit and overall economics. This book is a go-to resource for new and experienced hardware teams to help them plan for and execute a new hardware startup successfully and avoid common pitfalls. Highly recommended." ―Bill Aulet, Managing Director, The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, Professor of the Practice, MIT Sloan School, and Author of Disciplined Entrepreneurship

"A vivid portrayal of our fight against an opponent that has been around for more than 3 billion years. Zaman, a professor of biomedical engineering and international health, portrays a conflict—between humans and harmful strains of bacteria—that has played out in plagues and epidemics over millennia."  – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Of the many books available on microscopy, my favorite has been Introduction to Optical Microscopy by Jerome Mertz. Now this excellent book is available in an even better second edition." – Joseph W. Goodman, Stanford University, California

“Readers will be delighted to learn that a man who willingly calls himself Meathead can still be trusted with a collection that has science in the subtitle. Goldwyn, whose day job is running the website amazingribs.com, explores the complexity of heat, meat, and smoke in the first half of his book, with a sense of humor sharper than his nickname suggests and a stack of scientific research provided by physicist Greg Blonder. Then he offers more than 100 recipes to take to the grill…[an] excellent guidebook.” –Publishers Weekly

“Bigio and Fantini’s comprehensive text on biomedical optics provides a wonderful blend of accessible theory and practical guidance relevant to the design and application of biomedical optical systems. It should be required reading for all graduate students working in this area.” –Rebecca Richards-Kortum, Rice University, Houston

“This is a major book about a serious subject – the combination of engineering and mathematics that goes into modern signal processing: discrete time, continuous time, sampling, filtering, and compression. The theory is beautiful and the applications are so important and widespread.” – Gil Strang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“…a thorough treatment of medical ultrasound, suitable for new graduates and for those working in the field…I recommend it highly as an excellent reference work.” – SCOPE, Sep-14

“This collection of papers is an excellent reference for anyone who would like to learn more about the engineering and computing side of systems and synthetic biology...this clear and detailed volume will help to introduce mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists to an application of their fields in biology. It will also serve biologists who want to know more about how in silico technologies can be an important part of the arsenal used to understand and create biological systems.” – Sara Kalvala, ACM Computing Reviews, June 2012
