Review Quotes

"... accessible to the average Advanced level student, and ... will greatly interest students intending to go on and study chemistry at university.

"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."

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.

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.
