No books have been published yet on this subjectRather unique monograph presenting one of the key stories in the history of mm-wave observations in the USA (and therefore pretty much in the world)Comes at the right momentThe mm-wave part of the spectrum is about the last window that remains to be opened for ground-based astronomy (gravitational waves being the other part)Currently, two major new telescopes (GTM and ALMA) are being built to operate in the mm-wave bandThey can be seen as a direct spin-off of the Tucson OperationsALMA (see www.alma.nrao.edu/info) is the most internationally and heavily sponsored project (at least 500 million dollar) and will become operational in 2007With these new tools arriving within a few years, the astronomical community is funding an increasing amount of projects in mm-wave astronomyIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
