Modern Spectroscopy

Rating:
Summary: The Best Book of its Type
Review: 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.

Summary: An excellent reference for lab students
Review: 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.

Summary: it is a great book
Review: 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.
