Introduction to Spectroscopy Review by Kelly

I absolutely LOVE this book. I first bought it for my Junior year analytical chemistry class, and I still use it today in grad school. It is VERY good at explaining NMR theory. Anything I ever needed related to NMR or IR I found in this book. It is by far the most useful chemistry book I own.

Introduction to Spectroscopy Review by Joseph

The book is really expensive for an international edition. The seller needs to state it clearly on the main advertizing page that it's an intl. edition. The caption it's like new for a price of $95 is very deceptive since the actual intl edition ranges between $55-$70. I bought the book at the advertised price with the thinking that it was the US edition.

Introduction to Spectroscopy Review by

Standard textbook outlining most spectroscopic techniques as taught at undergraduate level. However, contains an embarrassingly dated treatment of mass spectrometry which can not have been rewritten since the 1970s. No mention of the biggest MS techniques in use today (electrospray and MALDI), a glaring oversight especially in light of Fenn & Tanaka winning Nobel Prizes in 2002 for just these developments. And time-of-flight instruments having a mass range of 5000 and resolution of 200? Several years before this book was published, commercial machines were available with mass ranges well over 100,000 Da and resolutions of 10,000+. Not only poor, but misleading. Overall, a rather derivative book that seems to have been written largely by consultation of more authoritative work (probably an early edition of Williams & Fleming).
