5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to fill in knowledge gaps
This book is not a typical textbook and as such may be hard to learn from as a first text on your own. To aid these readers, many problems are indicated as Tutorials and cover a topic in a more introductory way. With a course lecture, or as a supplemental text it works well, and it is best suited for students familiar with the basics but looking for ways to tackle...

1.0 out of 5 stars Probably the worst "physics" book I have ever opened.
The title says it all. Its full of hand-waving arguments and formulas pulled from thin air. One learns nothing by reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to fill in knowledge gaps, June 5, 2011
This review is from: Atomic physics: An exploration through problems and solutions (Paperback)
This book is not a typical textbook and as such may be hard to learn from as a first text on your own. To aid these readers, many problems are indicated as Tutorials and cover a topic in a more introductory way. With a course lecture, or as a supplemental text it works well, and it is best suited for students familiar with the basics but looking for ways to tackle advanced topics that come directly from the lab.

I keep this book nearby and turn to it often as a way to get some practice and fill in the gaps in my understanding of this broad (and growing) field. Very few books present "theory for experimentalists" but this book succeeds at doing exactly that.
