Ranging from the physics of elementary particles to the structure of viruses, the subject matter of this book stresses the importance of optical activity and chirality in modern science and will be of interest to a wide range of scientists. Using classical and quantum methods with a strong emphasis on symmetry principles, the volume develops the theory of varied optical activity and related phenomena from the perspective of molecular scattering of polarized light. First Edition Hb (1983): 0-521-24602-4

Review
"An important book for any researcher or student interested in a solid physical grounding in chiral optical phenomena." Journal American Chemical Society, Bruce A. Garetz
Book Description
Ranging from the physics of elementary particles to the structure of viruses, the subject matter of this book reflects the importance of optical activity and chirality in much of modern science and will be of interest to a wide range of physical and life scientists. Using classical and quantum methods with a strong emphasis on symmetry principles, this book develops the theory of a variety of optical activity and related phenomena from the perspective of molecular scattering of polarized light.
