Schlieren and Shadowgraph Techniques: Visualizing Phenomena in Transparent Media, Springer-Verlag publishing firm.

The book, which provides a unified treatment of schlieren and shadowgraph optical methods, is designed for scientists and technicians who want to use these optical methods. Schlieren techniques are basic and valuable tools in a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. They allow otherwise invisible light refractions (phase differences) in transparent media to be seen and recorded.
