5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Start,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Hardcover)
This book is excellent for the person new to the concepts and applications of FTIR spectroscopy. Smith uses clear and concise language that is easy to interpret. Other books about the same subject are very difficult to read, and the language is too technical. This book provides an excellent base to build your knowledge of the subject on. Hats off to Dr. Smith - his book has helped me a lot.

Excellent explanations!,
By Deborah Merritt (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Hardcover)
This book is very well written. It explains FTIR is a way that is easy to understand without being too technical and/or boring. It is a great book for someone who uses the instrument and wants to know more about what is happening- without having to have a degree in physics! I highly recommend this book to any analytical laboratory and all science teachers!

Do not throw away your money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Hardcover)
This book use very simplistic explanation of FTIR Spectroscopy. It is oriented on non-technical person with no background in physics. At the same time the terminology used requires that background. Result: confusion and disappointment. Not to mistake an honorable reader, the word "Fundamentals" in the title should be replaced with something like " Introduction.... for technicians".
