From the reviews: "For newcomers and researchers ... there is no better place to learn about stochastic cooling than this book. Dieter Mohl was one of the foremost experts in the field ... . Insightful remarks based on his experience, invaluable calculation recipes, realistic numerical examples, as well as an excellent bibliography go together to round up the whole book. In this self-contained book, Mohl provides a superb pedagogical and concise treatment of the subject, from fundamental concepts up to advanced subjects."
