The Raman Effect: A Unified Treatment of the Theory of Raman Scattering by Molecules (Repost)

Presents a unified theoretical treatment, which is complete andrigorous but nonetheless readable. The theoretical treatmentrequires a variety of mathematical and physical tools. To keep themain text uncluttered, these tools are developed in comprehensiveAppendices to which cross-references are made in the main text.These Appendices also ensure that the main text is useful toreaders with a wide variety of scientific backgrounds andexperience. These include not only spectroscopists, but alsochemists, physicists, biochemists and analytical chemists. Thepresentation is such that postgraduate and postdoctoral students aswell as more established research workers will find it valuable.
About the Author
The author was formerly Professor of Structural Chemistry andDirector of the Molecular Spectroscopy unit in the University ofBradford. He is distinguished for his original scientific work in anumber of areas of Raman spectroscopy. His book, 'RamanSpectroscopy', published in 1978 and long out of print, was highlysuccessful. He has been co-editor of many books including theSpecialist Reports on Molecular Spectroscopy, published by theRoyal Society of Chemistry; he retired as Editor-in-Chief of theJournal of Raman Spectroscopy in December 1999.
