We are back though and everything should run smoothly now. New servers. Updated domains. And new owners. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
PITCH: «A Contemporary Approach to Optics with Practical Applications and New Focused Pedagogy.
Hecht Optics balances theory and instrumentation and provides students with the necessary classical background through a lively and clear narrative.
Optics, 5th Edition is distinguished by three core imperatives: up-to-date content in line with the ever-evolving technological advances in the Optics field; a modern approach to discourse including studies on photons, phasors, and theory; and improvements and revisions to the previous edition’s pedagogy including over one hundred new worked examples.
Sustaining market leadership for over twenty years, Optics, 5th Edition continues to demonstrate range and balance in subject matter. The text is grounded in traditional methodology, while providing an early introduction to the powerful perspective of the Fourier theory, which is crucial to present-day analysis. Electron and neutron diffraction patterns are pictured alongside the customary photon images, and every piece of art has been scrutinized for accuracy and altered where appropriate to improve clarity.»

Torrentz.eu is no more. Apart from Google that crawls the whole web and downlists (if not delists) torrent links, multi-metasearch engines aiosearch.com, torrentzeu.to, torrents-pro.net, and re-indexers torrentproject.se, bitsnoop.com and zooqle.com will help you in your search for torrents (and only torrents) floating in torrent space. You can search these sites by keyword(s) from title or author's name and, for some, by hash code.
Remember that, once created, torrents never cease to exist even when de-indexed, DMCA'd or left for dead - unseeded. And that a torrent listed with no seeds on a particular set of trackers is not necessarily a dead torrent (Good critters inhabit the DHT-PEX layer though they aren't accounted for in torrent stats).
