From the book reviews:

“In Astronomical Measurement: A Concise Guide, Andy Lawrence ... provides a delightfully comprehensive summary of the essential information the budding observational astronomer needs to know. ... It is aimed at the advanced undergraduate and the beginning graduate student, but it can also serve as an engaging refresher for the working astronomer who wants to venture into a new wavelength regime.” (Kimberly Weaver, Physics Today, December, 2014)
