An exhaustive and irreverent look at our scuttling friends from a popular environmental writer, this book showcases cockroachabilia from throughout history to the Raid Entomology Research Lab in Michigan, where technicians breed 80,000 roaches a week. Lavishly illustrated and filled with bite-sized tidbits, this book is a fitting tribute to one of nature''s most enduring triumphs.

In Book 3 of the Rare Traits Trilogy, after nearly five centuries, John Andrews and his daughter Paola have finally found each other. But then Paola disappears and John finds himself in a desperate search that leads him from the US to the UK and then to the area of Tuscany he knew as a young man in the 15C. Meanwhile, Paola faces her demons.

Computational Fourier Optics is a text that shows the reader in a tutorial form how to implement Fourier optical theory and analytic methods on the computer. A primary objective is to give students of Fourier optics the capability of programming their own basic wave optic beam propagations and imaging simulations. The book will also be of interest to professional engineers and physicists learning Fourier optics simulation techniques-either as a self-study text or a text for a short course. For more advanced study, the latter chapters and appendices provide methods and examples for modeling beams and pupil functions with more complicated structure, aberrations, and partial coherence. For a student in a course on Fourier optics, this book is a concise, accessible, and practical companion to any of several excellent textbooks on Fourier optical theory.
