This Springer Handbook of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics comprises a comprehensive reference source that unifies the entire fields of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, assembling the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field from atomic spectroscopy to applications in comets. Its 92 chapters are written by over 100 authors, all leaders in their respective disciplines. Carefully edited to ensure uniform coverage and style, with extensive cross references, and acting as a guide to the primary research literature, it is both a source of information and an inspiration for graduate students and other researchers new to the field. Relevant diagrams, graphs, and tables of data are provided throughout the text. Substantially updated and expanded since the 1996 edition and published in conjunction with the 2005 World Year of Physics (commemorating Einstein s 1905 "miracle year"), it contains several entirely new chapters covering current areas of great research interest, such as Bose Einstein condensation, quantum information, and cosmological variations of the fundamental constants. A fully searchable CD-ROM version of the contents accompanies the handbook.

Springer handbook of atomic
Don't let the title fool you. This is 95% chemistry, and maybe 10% physics (5% where the two overlap). Still, it's sort of useful for a (condensed matter) physicist, though not as useful as a number of other standard resources, and practically useless in general for most physicists. I'd imagine if I were a chemist this would be a very important resource. But as a particle physicist this pales in comparison to something like the PDG I get in the mail every 2 years for free. On one hand, I probably wouldn't be so harsh on this if "Physics" wasn't in the title. On the other hand, I wouldn't even own it if "Physics" wasn't in the title. So since this shit cost me well over a hundred bucks I'm not about to baby it with some kind of even-handed review from a non-physicist perspective. As its title demands, it requires the perspective of chemists and physicists both. Don't put physics in the title of your book if it doesn't make up a bulk of the contents. I got this probably seven or so years ago, so I'm not bothered by its useless contents any longer. I just look at it on the shelf every now and then, frowning and shaking my head every time I see "Physics" in the title. If you're a physicist you'll find this useless, unless you're in the field of condensed matter or molecular physics. And then, only if your work heavily overlaps with chemistry.
