Review
'This book is clearly and authoritatively written, and should appeal to astronomers, engineers and physicists, and prove particularly useful to the advanced university student.' Irish Astronomical Journal
'Although on the face of it a hard science volume, this book is still quite readable. This is due to the progressive stye in which each topic is approached ... this book does provide a complete introduction and reference volume to the world of photon detection.' Alex Colburn, Webb Society Reviews
'... providing in a single source a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the field. Whether used as a text or as a reference ... an invaluable addition.' Physics Today
'The book is well laid out and covers most of the basic solid state physics required to understand how the various types of detectors work. I found the diagrams very clear and the examples well thought through ... It is certainly a book that I wish I had had available as an undergraduate when studying detection systems in astronomy.' Owen Brazell, Astronomy Now
' ... a valuable addition to the library ... the physics/astronomy/engineering community owes Professor Rieke a debt of gratitude for writing this comprehensive book.' Peter Cockshott, Measurement Science and Technology
'An excellent treatise on the physics behind ... a very broad range of detectors ... It is well presented and each chapter is provided with worked examples and problems to test understanding ... can be recommended to anyone in the field using light detectors of any sort ...'. Engineering Science and Education Journal
'This book is an excellent guide ... and will be of value to a wide-ranging readership ... the layout is extremely clear and approachable ... [and] the emphasis throughout is on the basic physical processes which underlie each technology ... In summary, this is a must for anyone involved in millimeter-to-ultraviolet instrumentation ...'. Observatory
' ... a consistently lucid exposition ... each topic covered is sufficiently self-contained to allow a reader to dip into any chapter without having to search for prerequisite information elsewhere ... providing in a single source a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the field. Whether used as a text or a reference ... an invaluable addition ...'. Physics Today
