Synopsis

Many would say that our first and best measure to avoid ecological disaster is to look clearly at the situation; professionals in the optic sciences, however, have more specific applications in mind. In 52 selected papers, they discuss the usefulness of optics in earthquake prediction, analysis, and early warning; atmospheric, soil, and marine pollution monitoring; cultural heritage protection; disaster medicine; bioindicators and biosensors; and technological process monitoring and transportation safety. Reproduced from typescripts. No subject index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
