This is the book on Raman Spectrospy I was waiting for. Authors have selected a complete and smart set of chapters which cover a wide range of topics of interest either for teachers or researchers in vibrational spectroscopy. This book provides the readers with great number of examples and with an adecuate complementary bibliography. Chapters concerning special techniques, applications to analytical chemistry, to biochemical and medical problems, as well as to industrial and environmetal investigations are very clear and well explained. I strongly recomend this book to any person who works in vibrational spectroscopy either in the academic or industrial field.
