Rapid technical developments with lasers and other energy devices have continued over recent years, both in the different types of devices available and in what can be used for cosmetic and other treatments, including scar and tattoo removal, hair removal, cellulite, and lipolysis. In the second edition of Lasers and Energy Devices for the Skin, the top practitioners in the field have pooled their expertise to offer a broad and balanced perspective. Updated to encompass the latest refinements in the field, this volume: Explores the latest techniques in laser hair removal and scar removal Reviews advances in antiaging techniques for the skin of the face Covers the use of photodynamic therapy ...
Extensively illustrated with before and after images, procedural photographs, and supporting explanatory artwork, this practical, how-to guide contains everything readers need to successfully perform cosmetic laser surgery. For each procedure, the text covers the 3 R's: Recommendations regarding techniques, the Risks associated with certain procedures, and the Results that can be expected. Other chapters cover laser blepharoplasty, hair transplant and scalp reduction, laser techniques of scars, hair removal by laser, and laser treatment of leg veins. * Supplements basic laser texts by providing recommended techniques, risks and results. * Includes more than 200 before and after surgery color photographs, aiding physicians when discussing treatment options and expectations with patients. * Shows step-by-step, how-to descriptions with illustrations of performing each procedure. * Provides "pearls of wisdom" from professionals who have pioneered many of the procedures to help physicians avoid pitfalls and obtain better results. * Devotes an entire section to the important subject of skin resurfacing.
Maintaining and updating the many features that made the First Edition so popular, the Second Edition of this highly lauded reference surveys new and established dermatologic surgical procedures-presenting a unique, all-encompassing approach to dermatologic surgery.

Developments in lasers continue to enable progress in many areas such as eye surgery, the recording industry and dozens of others. This book presents citations from the book literature for the last 25 years and groups them for ease of access which is also provided by subject, author and titles indexes.
Citizen science enlists members of the public to make and record useful observations, such as counting birds in their backyards, watching for the first budding leaf in spring, or measuring local snowfall. The large numbers of volunteers who participate in projects such as Project FeederWatch or Project BudBurst collect valuable research data, which, when pooled together, create an enormous body of scientific data on a vast geographic scale. In return, such projects aim to increase participants' connections to science, place, and nature, while supporting science literacy and environmental stewardship. In Citizen Science, experts from a variety of disciplines—including scientists and educati...
This accessible text on classical celestial mechanics, the principles governing the motions of bodies in the Solar System, provides a clear and concise treatment of virtually all of the major features of solar system dynamics. Building on advanced topics in classical mechanics such as rigid body rotation, Langrangian mechanics and orbital perturbation theory, this text has been written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in astronomy, physics, mathematics and related fields. Specific topics covered include Keplerian orbits, the perihelion precession of the planets, tidal interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun, the Roche radius, the stability of Lagrange points in the three-body problem and lunar motion. More than 100 exercises allow students to gauge their understanding and a solutions manual is available to instructors. Suitable for a first course in celestial mechanics, this text is the ideal bridge to higher level treatments.
Emphasizing physics over mathematics, this popular, classroom-tested text helps advanced undergraduates acquire a sound physical understanding of wave phenomena. This second edition of Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction contains new widgets, animations in Python, and exercises, as well as updated chapter content throughout; continuing to ease the difficult transition for students between lower-division courses that mostly encompass algebraic equations and upper-division courses that rely on differential equations. Assuming familiarity with the laws of physics and college-level mathematics, the author covers aspects of optics that crucially depend on the wave-like nature of light, such a...
