A great place to start. January 16, 2002
This is an excellent book for those looking into and exploring holography. It demistifies a lot of the jargon associated with holography, as well as the most difficult part... correct development. Unlike what another reviewer said, this book is up to date and has good sources for materials. I would not suggest this book for those who are already making holograms, it is really for those just starting out. But it is almost perfect for those beginers. The only downfall of this book is it's lack of setup diagrams, it only illustrates one. This keeps things simple but does not allow you to progress unless you do research outside the scope of the book. Over all this is an excellent book that truely makes "real" holography easy enough and cheap enough for anyone to do.

This book is quite out of date. The supplier it lists for the plates no longer supplies them. The new supplier described "Shoebox Holography" in terms I can't post on a public website. Avoid this book; I wish I had.
 A EDUCATOR"S DREAM April 21, 2000
30 out of 32 found this review helpful
I have used this book personally, I have used it in my high school Communications Technology lab, and it works. After reading the book, and introducing the world of Shoebox Holography to my student, it was like a DREAM COME TRUE. The students are are not only learning how to make holograms but it is the knowledge they learn from the process. The Science, Math, and Technology they learn, from the process, becomes MEANINGFUL to them. This book not only covers the process of holography it also goes into great detail of laser and fiber optic technology. It excites all levels of high school students and they actually run to class to make their holograms. It has also been useful to build teamwork in the classroom. By creating teams they learn to work, communicate, and rely on each others abilities. The book has illustrations and photos that explain the concept along with the written directions. I have been teaching for 23 years and this is the best classroom tool I have seen in years. I am going to order classroom sets, of this book, for my students to use in their studies. I highly recommend this book.
An Awesome Book of Never Ending Information! April 21, 2000
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
As a 12 year old first time science fair competitor, I was happy to achieve 1st place! My topic and information was taken from Mr.Frank DeFreitas' book. This book got me through the hard times of the project. It was so easy to navigate through the book, that I could find how to fix my problems immediately. The Shoe Box Holography Method was very easy to use but at the same time exerted a good amount of challenge. It gave the basic fundamental priciples of making a hologram, and showed me a piece of the future which is not far away! After doing this project, I instantly wanted to know more, and by looking deeper into the book, I came across more advanced projects! I don't think I will outgrow this book for a while. It's information goes on forever! Lastly, I recommend this book for someone who wants an awesome science fair topic, a piece of the future, or to discover an exciting hobby! THANK YOU MR.FRANK DEFREITAS !
Guidebook for Your Holography Future ! ! April 20, 2000
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Regardless of your age or your knowledge of holography, this wonderful book will guide you into a holography exploration where your talents and imagination will produce marvelous holograms. Students will obtain "award" winning results if you chose the "shoebox" method for science fair competitions. But more important - HOLOGRAPHY IS FUN,REWARDING,and will be YOUR FUTURE - Frank DeFreitas' book just makes your journey the best experience it can possibly be! Outstanding in all areas.
