Poor Man's Ray Gun

by: David Gunn
This is an excellent text that deals with the construction of a MASER - it is simialr to a laser but uses micorwaves instead of light (and can basically burn things up) - from parts that can be found in a microwave. It does a decent job of covering the theory of MASERs but is mostly practical. This book can also be used as a first look into the fascinating discipline of electromagnetic weapons, a topic that is all to relevant today, as "e-bombs" are an inexpensive, realistic choice for the terrorist.

Man Ray Photographs

by: Jean-Hubert Martin, Man Ray
This text explores the photographic career of Man Ray whose fertile artistic impulse has made him equally celebrated as a painter, sculptor, writer and film-maker. Taking up photography in 1915 for the purpose of reproducing his paintings, he earned money doing the same for others when he went to live and work in Paris in 1921.

Man Ray (Taschen Icons)

by: Taschen
This small book is part of a vague series called Icons by Taschen. They are a dim reflection on some of their larger works.

This book is definitely not for beginners, not meant to be an introduction to Man Ray. However, it has some value for people familiar with Man Ray, Andre Breton and/or Dada. Think of it as material for art history or food for thought about the time.

Do yourself a favor and don't try to learn about Man Ray from this book or any of the enthusiastic or overblown "reviews" of it.
