Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is the object of this graduate-level textbook to provide a back-ground of basic spectroscopic principles adequate for understanding much of both traditional and contemporary spectroscopy. Because of his unusually lucid explanations, the author has succeeded admirably in his stated objective of providing such a background without making the text so geared to current research trends that it would quickly become outdated. The selection of problems at the end of each chapter is excellent, as is the selection of references both to monographs and to the primary research literature.... It is strongly recommended that this book be examined by anyone interested in either teaching or learning about spectroscopy from a contemporary point of view."
