Overview

"Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and versatile techniques now available for the study of molecular structure and reaction mechanisms. Written by recognised experts in the field, this classic account of modern NMR spectroscopy was heralded on its first publication in 1987 as ""the lasting text of its age"" Nature. Now available in paperback, it provides a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. It describes the study of solutions and solids using one- and two-dimensional spectroscpy, providing both a solid theoretical foundation and a description of practical procedures. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigorous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout. This important work was written at the ETH in Zurich, one of the world's leading institutions in advanced NMR methods, which has played a key role in the development of Fourier spectroscopy, two-dimensional spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform NMR imaging. Available in paperback for the first time, the book provides the definitive account of the field, and is without question ""a must.....for every self-respecting NMR spectroscopist"" Journal of Magnetic Resonance."

Reviews

From reviews of the hardback edition: 'Undoubtedly to be regarded as the standard work on modern NMR spectroscopy, presenting the basic theory which underlies the newer pulse experiments used in structure elucideation. It will be indispensable for all scientists who wish to learn at first hand about these advanced techniques, and no departmental library should be without it.' Angewandte Chemie 'It is an up-to-date text which can be recommended to student and experienced researcher alike and should prove to be an indispensable reference source.' Physics in Medicine and Biology 'Presents a uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date treatment...The authors provide a unified review of the entire field, covering basic principles and techniques for the study of solutions and solids, with emphasis placed on methods of one-and two-dimensional spectroscopy.' SciTech Books News `a triumph of careful and clear exposition......scholarly and readable....This will be the lasting text of its age' Nature 'The book reads like a rich novel...[it] belongs in every chemistry library and on the bookshelf (or desktop!) of every NMR spectroscopist. The release of a paperback edition makes the book more affordable and available, and should be celebrated.' Trends in Analytical Chemistry `The authors have succeeded admirably in writing a rigorous treatment of modern Fourier transform NMR which will certainly stand the test of time, remaining a valuable reference volume probably into the next century.' Journal of Natural Products 'What could be a better recommendation for a text - written by authors who have been contributing a lot to the field they are writing about? The book is written in a precise, sophisticated and vivid language'. Journal of Molecular Structure ` a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigorous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout.' Physics Briefs `The text is well referenced, and the authors have adopted the very sensible practice of referencing by chapter. The book is a benchmark for the rigorous treatment of NMR techniques. A bargain for any library and for any serious protagonist of NMR spectroscopy. The Analyst

An excellent review of the principles of modern NMR spectroscopy....For physical scientists working in spectroscopy this book offers a wealth of concentrated information and I strongly recommend it. --Magnetic Resonance Imaging<br> Presents a uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date treatment....The authors provide a unified review of the entire field, covering basic principles and techniques for the study of solutions and solids, with emphasis placed on methods of one-and two-dimensional spectroscopy. --SciTech Book News<br> Presents a comprehensive description of modern NMR techniques, and, more importantly, of its underlying concepts....This book is a must for every library dealing with chemistry, chemical physics, biochemistry, or biophysics and for every self-respecting NMR spectroscopist. --Journal of Magnetic Resonance<br> Thorough and authoritative...invaluable to serious practitioners in the field, both pure and applied and to students eager to grasp the innermost workings and concepts. --Quarterly Review of Biology<br> [This] volume, written by three leaders in the development of modern pulse NMR theory and practice, may well fall into the landmark category....The treatment here is with an even hand and no obvious prejudices. --Texas A&M University NMR Newsletter<br> Ernst's group is, and has been for years, probably the most productive in the world of new and useful methods in NMR spectroscopy, particularly the dominant part of it concerned with high-resolution spectra in liquids . . . Accordingly, this book has been eagerly awaited for a long time. It turns out to be just what one would have expected--an authoritative and clearly written expose of developments overthe past 25 years . . . The book is indispensable to those who are seriously interested in understanding and interpreting contemporary approaches in what has become a sophisticated field. --American Scientist<br> I recommend this book as a good reference text for practicing NMR medical physicists....A text such as this provides the theory and the mathematical tools necessary to fully understand the complex behavior of the nuclear-spin system. --Medical Physics<br> A comprehensive account....Detailed, logical, clear, and complete....Must be on the shelf of anyone who intends to engage in modern high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. --Journal of the American Chemical Society<br> The authors have succeeded admirably in writing a rigorous treatment of modern Fourier transform nmr which will certainly stand the test of time, remaining a valuable reference volume probably into the next century --Journal of Natural Products<br> The requirement for a major monograph on the subject of pulse NMR spectroscopy in one and two dimensions has been met by Ernst, Bodenhausen and Wokaun. The book is a triumph of careful and clear exposition ranging over liquids, solids and spin-imaging, with all the new methods subject to detailed examination and illustrated with examples. It is scholarly and readable. . . .This will be the lasting text of its age, the Abragam amongst modern NMR books. --Nature<br>
