Content:
"This book provides a fresh, photon-based description of modern molecular spectroscopy and photophysics, with applications drawn from across chemistry, biology, physics and materials science. The concise and detailed approach includes some of the most recent developments, dispensing with old-fashioned treatments of theory and instrumentation. Instead, the focus is on how light absorption and scattering occur in molecules, and what happens to the energy the molecules can acquire. The author draws upon his extensive experience of teaching these subjects at university level. Departing from the entrenched pattern of most textbooks, his book provides a modern and amenable treatment, directly meeting the needs of today's scientist. The text is fresh and lively, interspersed with vivid original figures, and there are numerous worked examples, illustrating the principles with real-world examples."
