Molecular Spectroscopy 1st Edition  (English, Hardcover, McHale Jeanne L.)

Ideal for upper-level undergraduate/beginning graduate courses in Molecular Spectroscopy; assumes prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. Blending tradition with innovation, this lively and engaging text presents the basic theories underlying spectroscopy while incorporating modern viewpoints of practical utility in spectroscopy research. Written in a clear, jargon-free style that encourages independent thinking and active participation, it covers the quantum mechanical theoretical basis of spectroscopy, modern innovations in spectroscopy (such as time-dependent theory) and practical applications of spectroscopy research, including the influence of condensed phases.
