Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-05 00:00:00 Timothy Brunnemer I decided this morning that I was tired of not understanding what I was doing at work, so I checked this out and spent the whole day reading it. I do feel like I have a much better understanding now, but I have also discovered a new and passionate hatred for spectroscopy (and analytical chemistry in general). I think that I would rather gouge my eyes out than read another page about interferometers, optical path-lengths, or signal to noise ratios. Yuck!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-17 00:00:00 Roy Benny Coogle As the description promises, it provides an in-depth look at how FTIR works, without launching into detailed technical explanations of how to do the transforms (interesting, but not applicable to the text in question). Information is presented in a way that is clear and easy to follow (as I would expect from the CRC press!), and the explanations are simple enough that even those that are unfamiliar with how FTIR works can glean much from the text. It's not the first book I would recommend for those interested in FTIR, but it's a great resource for those working in the lab who need to look something up quickly.
