Two-dimensional Imaging
Telecommunication by radio shrank the world to a global village, and the satellite and computer have made imagery the language of that village. The creation of images was once mainly in the hands of artists and scribes. Two-dimensional images also occur naturally: a shadow, the dappled light pattern under a tree, the optical image on a retina. Nature provided the motif for much abstract ornamentation, and our written letters and ideograms trace back to representations of nature.
Handbook of Fourier Analysis & Its Applications
This practical, applications-based professional handbook comprehensively covers the theory and applications of Fourier Analysis, spanning topics from engineering mathematics, signal processing and related multidimensional transform theory, and quantum physics to elementary deterministic finance and even the foundations of western music theory.

Fourier Analysis and Imaging
As Lord Kelvin said, "Fourier's theorem is not only one of the most beautiful results of modern analysis, but it may be said to furnish an indispensable instrument in the treatment of nearly every recondite question in modern physics." This has remained durable knowledge for a century, and has extended its applicability to topics as diverse as medical imaging (CT scanning), the presentation of images on screens and their digital transmission, remote sensing, geophysical exploration, and many branches of engineering. Fourier Analysis and Imaging is based on years of teaching a course on the Fourier Transform at the senior or early graduate level, as well as on Prof. Bracewell's 1995 text Two-Dimensional Imaging. It is an excellent textbook and will also be a welcome addition to the reference library of those many professionals whose daily activities involve Fourier analysis in its many guises.
Physical Chemistry in Depth
"Physical Chemistry in Depth" is not a stand-alone text, but complements the text of any standard textbook on "Physical Chemistry" into depth having in mind to provide profound understanding of some of the topics presented in these textbooks. Standard textbooks in Physical Chemistry start with thermodynamics, deal with kinetics, structure of matter, etc. The "Physical Chemistry in Depth" follows this adjustment, but adds chapters that are treated traditionally in ordinary textbooks inadequately, e.g., general scaling laws, the graphlike structure of matter, and cross connections between the individual disciplines of Physical Chemistry. Admittedly, the text is loaded with some mathematics, which is a prerequisite to thoroughly understand the topics presented here. However, the mathematics needed is explained at a really low level so that no additional mathematical textbook is needed.
In Search of Real Ufos
The book presents a serious approach to the UFO phenomenon, from a scientific standpoint, looking for a new way to solve the mystery. The book begins by presenting the main characteristics of UFO phenomena. It then discusses Orbs and Rods, provides scientific explanations to widely reported UFO cases, a deep analysis of abductions, and an extensive consideration to the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis. It includes a review of the famous Socorro, NM incident, followed by an interview with Dr. Jill Tarter (SETI). Dr. Massimo Teodorani, an Italian astrophysicist, contributes a report about the Hessdalen Lights as well as his his fully loaded scientific paper on "Physics from the UFO Data". The book concludes with a retrospective and prospectivelook at Ufology, and a proposal for a new approach to the study of UFOs. A must read for anyone seriously interested in UFOs.
Medical Imaging Systems
This open access book gives a complete and comprehensive introduction to the fields of medical imaging systems, as designed for a broad range of applications. The authors of the book first explain the foundations of system theory and image processing, before highlighting several modalities in a dedicated chapter. The initial focus is on modalities that are closely related to traditional camera systems such as endoscopy and microscopy. This is followed by more complex image formation processes: magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray projection imaging, computed tomography, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography.
