Imaging: A Laboratory Manual is a useful book for students and researchers interested in the rapidly advancing broad field of biological optical imaging. I recommend Imaging as a general and introductory textbook and laboratory manual for undergraduate and graduate laboratory courses in biological optical imaging. Imaging provides a balance of introductory technical materials with clear and precise experimental protocols, technical limitations, cautions, and detailed
technical insights. It is modern in its coverage and includes chapters on modern microscopies, including super-resolution imaging, and linear and nonlinear optical microscopy

Photoacoustic Imaging and Spectroscopy is a multiauthored reference
book that presents an advanced series of disparate chapters
on the mathematical foundations, instrumentation, and applications
of photoacoustic and thermoacoustic imaging. Lihong Wang, an
eminent author, educator, scientist, and leader in the field of photoacoustic
imaging and spectroscopy, is the editor of this book. Clearly
this field is extremely active as evidenced by the diversity, the
scope, and the quality of the field’s published literature. Nevertheless,
I was surprised to read the back cover, which I think
is overreaching with the claim that photoacoustics may make
as dynamic a contribution to modern medicine as the discovery
of the x ray once did. While this may be a “typical”
overstatement by the publisher’s marketing team, it should be
noted that within one year of the discovery of x rays there
were more than one thousand publications related to the topic

Writing masters and accountants in England – a study of occupation, status and ambition in the early modern period
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to address the lack of knowledge of the accounting occupational group in England prior to the formation of professional accounting bodies. It does so by focusing on attempts made by the occupational group of writing masters and accountants to establish a recognisable persona in the public domain, in England, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, and to enhance that identity by behaving in a manner designed to convince the public of the professionalism associated with themselves and their work. The study is based principally on early accounting treatises and secondary sources drawn from beyond the accounting literature. Notions of identity, credentialism and jurisdiction are employed to help understand and evaluate the occupational history of writing masters and accountants. It is shown that writing masters and accountants emerged as specialist pedagogues providing expert business knowledge required in the counting houses of entities which flourished during a period of rapid commercial expansion in mercantilist Britain. Their demise as an occupational group may be attributed to a range of factors amongst which an emphasis on personal identity, the neglect of group identity and derogation of the writing craft were most important.history ; accountants ; bookkeepers
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
