Holography Handbook: Making Holograms the Easy Way

by Fred Unterseher, Jeannene Hansen, Bob Schlesinger

Bearing a startling hologram of a skull on its front cover, this volume is a complete, up-to-date reference guide to its subject. For the uninitiated, the first two chapters give a thorough introduction to this complex technology. There is also a chapter on available educational facilities, plus a glossary of technical terms. For the professional holographer, the central part of the book covers materials and techniques in detail. Also included is an international listing of over 1000 holography businesses and personalities, plus a 10pp bibliography, including French, German, Portuguese and Russian, as well as English language publications. As publishers, Ross Books are in the unique position of offering advertising pages which are collector's items in themselves, in this case from American Bank Note Hologaphics (4pp), Light Impressions and Max Image.

Shows you how to make real holograms (not that flimsy thing on your credit card) in your basement using pilfered lasers from used optics stores and old xerox machines and from scientifc overstock supply stores. combine that with some hot glue, a sandbox and some holo chemicals and film and...................bwhahahahahaha!

I really enjoyed reading about the science behind how a hologram is created and how I might go about making one myself.
