The Physics of Light and Waves

I found this book extremely well written and an excellent introduction to the physics of wave propogation. In my own work I am concerned with the way a light wave propogates through the optics of a telescope. I read the 1967 edition of this book and was pleasantly surprised by Towne's comprehensive and well explained coverage of this subject. This book would make an excellent undergraduate upper level course.
