Letokhov has managed the difficult feat of both describing the physics of a wide range of topics while also looking to the future. Anyone with an interest in atomic physics will enjoy this book. Dr B.E. Sauer Contemporary Physics

`... a book by one of the pioneers in this entire field, and one of the most cited Russian scientific authors.' Colin Webb, University of Oxford `... a timely book for a rapidly moving and expanding market, written by an internationally renowned expert in the field of laser cooling.' Wolfgang Schleich, University of Ulm `... an excellent book. It brings together topics which have a common theme - the laser control of atoms and molecules - but are not usually treated in the same book.' Ifan Hughes, University of Durham
