This valuable book is directed primarily toward solid- and liquid-state physicists, chemists, metallurgists, and perhaps a few biologists. With the operation of several modest-flux pulsed neutron sources around the world, which are paving the way for newer, more powerful 'state of the art' pulsed sources, this book will undoubtedly be well received and welcomed by all neutron scatterers (including steady staters). It should do for pulsed sources in the 1980's what Neutron scattering by G. E. Bacon did for reactor sources in the 1950's. The book is quite complete and self-contained. The inside jacket cover states that the volume is meant to be used as a handbook, as it certainly will be. Other important reference books are cited in the introduction and there are 230 references at the end, which indicate the book has been well researched. Examples have been taken from the major pulsed-source projects around
