Excerpt from Handbook of Photography
The literature on photography abounds with books devoted to the elementary or purely artistic phases of the subject. Few books are devoted to the serious aspects of the technique of the photographic process or to the scientific basis underlying photography and its applications, and most of these treat only of some restricted branch of photography.
This Handbook of Photography was born of the desire of the editors to possess fer their own use a comprehensive, authoritative reference work on photography and its technical and scientific applications - a reference text having the directness; rigor, and authority Which might be found, for example, in the various engineering handbooks.
