This book was first published in 2007, a time of enormous change in the field of optical spectrometry. Although the basic optical principles remained unchanged, the design considerations were very different and, in many cases, more demanding. Developments in computer ray-tracing and computer-aided design coped with the extra impositions and allowed the construction of a new generation of spectrographs. The book covers the general principles of spectrographic design at the time, and the practical and engineering aspects of a broad range of spectrographs and spectrometers. The book deals with materials and methods of construction and includes suggestions for the choice of optical table, the design of slit mechanisms, and adjustable mirror, grating and lens mounts, with suggestions for the alignment and calibration of the finished instrument.

A passion. A hatred. A jealousy. A murder.Cory has been following her for months. The longer this goes on, the deeper his obsession grows. Experience has taught him that catching this girl won't be simple. She is too smart, too cunning, and too slippery for an ordinary plan to work. He'll have to be methodical, to slowly gain her trust. Becoming a part of her life will require him to lie, to deceive, and to make promises he can't keep. Cory thinks he knows what he's doing. He thinks he's in control, but it's not until he has blood on his hands that he realizes he has gone too far.
