This book presents the theory of the moiré phenomenon between aperiodic or random layers. It provides a full general purpose and application-independent exposition of the subject. It leads the reader through the various phenomena that occur in the superposition of correlated aperiodic layers, both in the image and in the spectral domains. Throughout the whole text the book favors a pictorial, intuitive approach that is supported by mathematics, and the discussion is accompanied by a large number of figures and illustrative examples, some of which are visually attractive and even spectacular.
