4.0 out of 5 stars The best book for introductory Atomic Spectra!, May 31, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Atomic Spectra and Atomic Structure (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
Updated classic paperback text that covers a broad area from Balmer series to Nuclear Spin. Written without alot of complex mathematics, this is a good introduction to Atomic Spectra for specialists in other fields. I loved the coverage on quantum numbers and alkaline-earth elements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great text, but the copy is poor, June 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Unfortunately, unless you can get ahold of an older, unmarked copy, you may be disappointed by the "new" book sold through Amazon. Spectra are cut off, along with the legends. The pages look like they were photocopied, poorly, in some cases and the text on several pages is blackened by photocopied handwriting within the book. Strange, as Dover is typically very conscientious. I found another older copy and must say, I really do enjoy this book. It reads well and Herzberg describes many aspects of atomic spectroscopy and how structure is related quite brilliantly. I can highly recommend the book, but not this particular printing.
