Overview
The main aim of this title is to introduce the student to spectroscopy in a clear manner which avoids, as far as possible, the mathematical aspects of the subject. It is thus intended for first or second year undergraduates, particularly those with minimal mathematics qualifications. After explaining the theory behind spectroscopy, the book then goes on to look at the different techniques, such as rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. It encompasses both high resolution (structural) and low resolution (analytical) spectroscopy, demonstrating their close interrelationship. The many worked problems should make this book useful for independent study.

Reviews
... accessible to the average Advanced level student, and ... will greatly interest students intending to go on and study chemistry at university. -- School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003 School Science Review This is an excellent book, and is great value-for-money. I will be prescribing Holla's text for my students. This ends a search for a suitable spectroscopy text, which has lasted several years. I highly recommend the book to you as a class text. It would also be a worthwhile addition to the departmental library or your personal reference library. -- Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, No 6, June 2003 Physical Sciences Educational Reviews Fills an important gap...clearly written and is pitched at just the right level for under-graduate chemistry students in the early years of their degree studies. An ideal introductory text for undergraduate students, and I hope that many students, and I hope that many students will use it to supplement their existing general text books of physical chemistry. -- Angewandte Chemie, International Edition, 2004, 43, 5117-5118 (David Smith) Angewandte Chemie, International Edition A useful companion to the undergraduate learning experience. The book will also provide a good recap in the subject for those who want to take their study on to postgraduate level. -- Education in Chemistry, September 2004 issue (Matthew Ingram) Education in Chemistry
