Synopsis

Written by one of the world's leading NMR research teams, this monograph presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy available. In the course of the last two decades, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has undergone a dramatic renaissance, and 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. The material is presented in an intuitive manner, with a large number of illustrations and a rigorous mathematical framework that should satisfy a wide audience.

Review

"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

"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

"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

"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

"[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

"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 exposé of developments over the 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

"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

"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

"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

"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
