Title: Not a beginner's spectroscopy book
Product review: If you're a beginner to spectroscopy, don't purchase this book. The author makes many assumptions about the knowledge of the reader while going from idea to idea. Many equations are not derived. Not only are they not derived, but the author makes no effort to explain where they came from or to provide anything that resembles context. This caused me to constantly lose my place, which caused a few pages to take hours to read and still not understand. If you're a beginner, do not buy this book. In fact, if you're anyone, don't buy this book. I keep trying to think of a suitable audience for this awful work, but I can't come up with any.
