To the microwave specialist as well as to the layman, this book should be of considerable interest, since it emphasizes the physical principles of microwave theory, rather than the mathematical approach to the subject.
The book is well illustrated throughout, not only with graphs and circuit diagrams, but also with cut-away views of components and photographs of microwave components and equipment.
R.S. GRUBMEYER BOOK NOTES MARINE FOULING AND ITS PREVENTION. 388 pages, illustrations, 21X27 cm. Annapolis, United States Naval Institute, 1952. Price, $10.00.
Prepared by the staff of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute for the Bureau of Ships, this monograph should be of great importance to commercial shipowners and operators, to managers of shipyards, docks and piers, to yacht owners and to manufacturers of marine construction materials and paints. It covers thoroughly the $100,000,000 a year problem of marine fouling, including an analysis of the damage it causes, a study of the biology of fouling organisms, and an important section on ways to prevent fouling. This last section contains chapters on protective devices, on the use of toxics, on the effects of various paint ingredients, and several chapters on antifouling paints. Beautifully illustrated and carefully referenced, the book is highly recommended as a worthwhile and practical contribution to marine engineering.
