An altogether useful, enjoyable book that can be used a resource, course text, and introduction to modern atomic research topics. --CHOICE Foot presents a textbook for an undergraduate course in atomic physics for students who understand quantum mechanics at the level of an introductory university course, including the Schrodinger equation in three dimensions and perturbation theory. After describing the basic principles of atomic structures and reviewing the classical ideas, he discusses laser spectroscopy, laser cooling, the Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute atomic vapors, matter-wave interferometry, and ion trapping. --SciTech Book News

Absolutely brillant textbook ... Strongly recommended and A textbook that must be definitively be acquired in the Libraries of Universities! Dr. Thierry-Philippe Picornell, GSz
