Even if beginning with only an introductory understanding of quantum mechanics, this excellent book will allow you to understand most major branches of spectroscopy. The chapters are organized to include reasonable amounts of both theory and show real spectra to help use the theory in the context of real research. One of the earlier chapters includes a review/primer on group theory and the remaining chapters can be understood with the group theory presented in that chapter. This book is therefore suitable as a text and is also very usefull as a reference.

I used this book to supplement the ocean of Herzberg referenced in my lab class. It seems pretty complete and is clearly written. The examples are very helpful.

The books reviews all the fundamental concepts on molecular spectroscopy. The chapter on quantum mechanics is well organized, and introduces the reader into the tools necessary for understanding the logic behind molecular spectroscopy. Simple, clear and easy to follow. The way the book is organized is also very good, from general/simple to specific/complex, so it's suitable for undergraduate students and all type of scientists.

This a great book about spectroscopy.
The balance between experiment method/data/figure and theory description is just so good that I got a lot of understanding
that I didn't get from other book.

This book was recommended by Amazon for spectroscopy and after looking few pages it was a book what I was looking for, have not gone through the whole book but the initial pages suggests that it will be a useful reference for me working as a metrology engineer in semiconductors
