High Resolution Spectroscopy

Encompassing a wide range of techniques, spectroscopy is used to analyze chemicals, biological and pharmaceutical compounds, food and beverages, and high-tech materials. Covering the whole range of spectroscopic techniques, this book provides a thorough overview of underlying principles, techniques and applications. Dr. Hollas is a well-known author and authority in the field, and this book is an expanded version of his well-received lower-level book, Modern Spectroscopy, now in its third edition (0-471-96523-5).

"The first edition of High Resolution Spectroscopy (the big book version of Modern Spectroscopy) was undoubtedly the best textbook on spectroscopy written at an undergraduate / beginning graduate level, and the second edition is an improvement...

...The coverage is broad, deep and even. The first chapters give a concise and clear introduction to spectroscopy, covering much that is accessible elsewhere only in more complicated discussions...

...The production values of High Resolution Spectroscopy are high, diagrams are well reproduced and the whole text is lavishly illustrated with many spectra and diagrams of apparatus....

... it contains a great deal of material and is beautifully written; every library should contain a copy; every student of spectroscopy (no-matter what age!) should have a copy on their shelves."

J. Michael Hollas is a retired university lecturer with many years of teaching and research experience. He has written over 100 research papers. Prior to Modern Spectroscopy, he published three books, Symmetry in Molecules, High Resolution Spectroscopy, second edition. and Basic Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy.

Michael Hollas?s classic text Modern Spectroscopy has long been a bible for undergraduates studying spectroscopy. Now, Wiley is delighted to announce its big brother, the second edition of High Resolution Spectroscopy. High Resolution Spectroscopy is aimed in particular at graduates continuing their studies in spectroscopy. It follows and broadens the topics of Modern Spectroscopy, taking the subject to the frontiers of research. The second edition includes a greatly expanded chapter on lasers and laser spectroscopy to reflect developments in this field during the past 20 years. As in Modern Spectroscopy, Michael Hollas writes in an extremely clear fashion and manages to make even complicated topics easy to understand. Features include:

• 560 diagrams
• Over 100 tables
• 570 references
• Greatly expanded chapter on lasers and laser spectroscopy
