Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"As a reference book on atomic physics, it is probably quite comprehensive. … A really good idea of the author has been to cover the basic principles in the main text of each chapter and reserve the last third of each chapter for … questions with detailed answers involving a large amount of mathematics. … it may be very useful for those who already have a profound understanding of atomic physics but want to refresh their knowledge … ." (Jan Posthumus, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)
