In order to analyze the light of cosmic objects, particularly at extremely great distances, spectroscopy is the workhorse of astronomy. In the era of very large telescopes, long-term investigations are mainly performed with small professional instruments. Today they can be done using self-designed spectrographs and highly efficient CCD cameras, without the need for large financial investments. This book explains the basic principles of spectroscopy, including the fundamental optical constraints and all mathematical aspects needed to understand the working principles in detail. It covers the complete theoretical and practical design of standard and Echelle spectrographs. Readers are guided through all necessary calculations, enabling them to engage in spectrograph design. The book also examines data acquisition with CCD cameras and fiber optics, as well as the constraints of specific data reduction and possible sources of error. In closing it briefly highlights some main aspects of the research on massive stars and spectropolarimetry as an extension of spectroscopy. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to spectroscopy for students of physics and astronomy, as well as a valuable resource for amateur astronomers interested in learning the principles of spectroscopy and spectrograph design.

The English language, spoken by so many people all over the world, is constantly changing. Many new words entering the language are derived from the names of actual persons. Robert Hendrickson has compiled a fascinating, unexpurgated collection of these and of the stories behind them. Webster's defines an eponym as "a real or mythical person from whose name the name of a nation, institution, thing, etc., is derived or is said to have been derived." The author not only treats familiar eponymous words such as bowdlerize, cardigan, guillotine, quisling, sadism and sideburns; he also tells in depth the stories behind such human words as Beau Brummell, bigot, Bluebeard, bloomers, booze, corduroy, ratfink, French leave, gerrymander, hooligan, jumbo, and thousands more. In all, 3000 to 3500 eponyms are covered, this being probably the only work extant that deals to a large extent exclusively with real, non-mythical eponyms. Students or laymen, experts or casual readers will each find something new, exciting and humorous in this world of words.--From publisher description.
