The Making of a Graphic Novel: The Resonator
• Author is an established industry insider and a master graphic storyteller •Unique, dynamic format allows readers to "look over the artist’s shoulder" Graphic novels are changing the face of media. Now The Making of a Graphic Novel is here to explain the creation of a graphic novel in a way that springs organically from the very concept: it includes an entire new 86-page graphic novel by master of the genre Prentis Rollins. The novel is preceded by Rollins’ own clear, straightforward text explaining how to conceive, write, and finally draw, ink, and letter a graphic novel. Tasks are broken down into manageable pieces that can be understood even by beginners. The unique process allows readers to look over the shoulder of an artist as he creates—and then to read the final masterwork. The Making of a Graphic Novel is sure to make a sensation among the many admirers of graphic novels, as well as every one who appreciates fine storytelling and fine art..

Laser Resonators and Beam Propagation: Fundamentals, Advanced Concepts and Applications (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)
Laser Resonators provides a detailed discussion of the properties of optical resonators and laser beams from basic theory to recent research In addition to describing the fundamental theories of resonators such as geometrical optics, diffraction, coherence, and polarization, the characteristics of all important resonator schemes and their calculation are presented. Experimental examples, practical problems and a collection of measurement techniques support the comprehensive treatment of the subject. Laser Resonators is the only book currently available that provides a comprehensive overview of the subject. Combined with the structure of the text and the autonomous nature of the chapters, this work will be as suitable for those new to the field as it will be invaluable to specialists conducting research. This second, revised edition has been enlarged by new sections on Q-switched resonators, coherence, micro-resonators, frequency tripling, and contains 993 references. .

Microwave Resonators and Filters for Wireless Communication: Theory, Design and Application (Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics)
This book describes the basic theory of microwave resonators and filters, and practical design methods for wireless communication equipment Wireless communication is rapidly gaining in importance in our modern information society. Mobile communication equipment is required to be more compact, lighter weight, to have longer operating times, and be battery operated for portability. The microwave resonators and filters described in this book provide a basis for realizing all these requirements. From the basic theory to applications, the text enables the reader to understand the key role played by microwave resonators and filters. Superconducting devices and micro-electromechanical devices are also described. The sections on design theory will be especially informative for microwave researchers and engineers..

Systems with Small Dissipation
Electromagnetic and mechanical oscillators are crucial in such diverse fields as electrical engineering, microwave technology, optical technology, and experimental physics. For example, such oscillators are the key elements in instruments for detecting extremely weak mechanical forces and electromagnetic signals are essential to highly stable standards of time and frequency. The central problem in developing such instruments is to construct oscillators that are as perfectly simple harmonic as possible; the largest obstacle is the oscillator's dissipation and the fluctuating forces associated with it. This book, first published in Russian in 1981 and updated with new data for this English edition, is a treatise on the sources of dissipation and other defects in mechanical and electromagnetic oscillators and on practical techniques for minimizing such defects. Written by a team of researchers from Moscow State University who are leading experts in the field, the book is a virtual encyclopedia of theoretical formulas, experimental techniques, and practical lore derived from twenty-five years of experience. Intended for the experimenter who wishes to construct near-perfect instrumentation, the book provides information on everything from the role of phonon-phonon scattering as a fundamental source of dissipation to the effectiveness of a thin film of pork fat in reducing the friction between a support wire and a mechanically oscillating sapphire crystal. The researchers that V. B. Braginsky has led since the mid-1960s are best known in the West for their contributions to the technology of gravitational-wave detection, their experimental search for quarks, their test of the equivalency principle, and their invention of new experimental techniques for high-precision measurement, including "quantum nondemolition movements." Here, for the first time, they provide a thorough overview of the practical knowledge and experimental methods that have earned them a worldwide reputation for ingenuity, talent, and successful technique. .
