Excellent NMR book for the ones 'in between'
Lambert and Mazzola's NMR book strikes a nice balance between the weighty tomes aimed at NMR specialists, and the structure-determination only books aimed purely at synthetic organic chemists. For someone like me, who is interested in the experimental and technical aspects of the NMR spectrometer and of NMR spectroscopy, but only because he wants to run good, clean NMR experiments, this book is marvelous. Lambert combines concise and clear discussions of key concepts like relaxation, NOEs, phase cycling, and processing parameters, with succint and illustrative examples. One of the unique aspects of this book is the listing of ballpark parameters for many experiments including ones like mixing times, no. of scans, relaxation times etc. For all parameters, the essential things, and those essential things which you have to watch out for, are both carefully explained.
Lambert's book is a very useful tool for those chemists who are 'in between'- that is,those who want to do structure determination themselves and also learn the practical and fine points of spectral acquisition as well as processing, without too much detail, either instrumental or mathematical. Lambert and Mazzola give us just the right amount. A must have on the shelf of any scientist interested in NMR. ... Read more

The ONE required book on NMR spectroscopy!
The long and incredibly productive career of Richard Ernst could be said to have written most of this book.It is difficult to overstate his constribution to the field of NMR spectroscopy.In this seminal work, Dr. Ernst along with his co-authors andcollaborators Bodenhausen and Wokaun draw on a vast base of knowledge to describe NMR spectroscopy in a clear understandable fashion for the newest student.Yet, this volume is packed with detail to satisfy even the most strigent graduate exam.The first chapter is an introduction to operator formalism which provides the theoretical framework for the discussion NMR experiments in 1- and 2- dimensions.The subsequent chapter on 1-D FT spectroscopy contains a depth of information lacking in many other treatments. This is followed by a clear discussion of multi-quantum transitions which are explored in full in the chapters on 2-D spectroscopy.The fourth chapter on the formation of 2-D spectra is the most complete I've seen to date. It should be since Ernst and his lab did much to shape the nature of 2-D spectroscopy.This is followed by three chapters elaborating on different aspects and areas of application of 2-D NMR spectroscopy.Finally chapter 8 is dedicated to NMR imaging which was changed in no small part by Dr. Ernst's contributions. This book should be on the shelf of any professional or student whose business is to know NMR spectrscopy. Physicists, spin-engineers, and physical chemists need this book if they are to study the fundamentals of NMR spectroscopy. ... Read more

Product Description
Spin Dynamics: Basics of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Second Edition is a comprehensive and modern introduction which focuses on those essential principles and concepts needed for a thorough understanding of the subject, rather than the practical aspects. The quantum theory of nuclear magnets is presented within a strong physical framework, supported by figures. 

The book assumes only a basic knowledge of complex numbers and matrices, and provides the reader with numerous worked examples and exercises to encourage understanding. With the explicit aim of carefully developing the subject from the beginning, the text starts with coverage of quarks and nucleons and progresses through to a detailed explanation of several important NMR experiments, including NMR imaging, COSY, NOESY and TROSY. 

Completely revised and updated, the Second Edition features new material on the properties and distributions of isotopes, chemical shift anisotropy and quadrupolar interactions, Pake patterns, spin echoes, slice selection in NMR imaging, and a complete new chapter on the NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei. New appendices have been included on Euler angles, and coherence selection by field gradients. As in the first edition, all material is heavily supported by graphics, much of which is new to this edition. 

Written for undergraduates and postgraduate students taking a first course in NMR spectroscopy and for those needing an up-to-date account of the subject, this multi-disciplinary book will appeal to chemical, physical, material, life, medical, earth and environmental scientists. The detailed physical insights will also make the book of interest for experienced spectroscopists and NMR researchers. 

• An accessible and carefully written introduction, designed to help students to fully understand this complex and dynamic subject

• Takes a multi-disciplinary approach, focusing on basic principles and concepts rather than the more practical aspects

• Presents a strong pedagogical approach throughout, with emphasis placed on individual spins to aid understanding

• Includes numerous worked examples, problems, further reading and additional notes

Good
I've got the book in perfect shape. There was a problem with my order but the Amazon people fix it quickly.

Excellent
Excellent book for learning the principles of imaging.I initially tried learning from the book by Mansfield and Morris and found it rather unfocused and unclear.Callaghan's book is clear, focused and very understandable.

Far too expensive
Wow, I can't believe they are charging $99 for a softcover!! I bought this book 4 years ago for about $45 brand new, and now the price is doubled!No doubt this is a very good and useful book to learn the classical theory of NMR in a materials sciences context. NMR diffusion and the formalism of diffusion/flow propagators is clearly explained and should be useful to anyone learning the subject for the first time, or re-learning old forgotten topics.

The only book dedicated to NMR microscopy.
Dr. Callaghan's work over the past 15 years has been instrumental in developing microscopic applications of NMR imaging.In this text, he expands on the seminal papers that he has published in the field and brings them together into a coherent whole.The veiwpoint of the book is that of a physicist with a powerful tool looking at physical and biological problems.Of the many texts on MR imaging I believe Dr Callaghan's description of MR physics to be most clear and complete.This book is recommened for physicists and engineers interested in NMR microscopy of course.However I would go on and recommend it for any serious student of MRI wanting a single volume that has a clear description of the fundamental phenomena at work in forming their images. ...

Pricey Brick
Well,

I bought the original Encyclopaedia of NMR (8 volumes) several years ago and I found it
an excellent value for the money (It was pricey then, it's exorbitant now). But, I am
a professional physicist who specializes in NMR, so, it was a necessity, sort of...

The update (which I decided to buy after several years of hesitation) in the form of Volume 9,
is outrageously expensive and offers very little value for that money. I mean, it covers topics
so esoteric that I, a trained professional in this field, find them out of my radar screen; hands
down, each of the entries may interest a whopping group of maybe 100 people worldwide, and these groups do not overlap.

So now, I proudly say I have a compelete Encyclopaedia of NMR. I use if often and I like it very much. But I doubt I will ever need to crack open the Volume 9.

The physicist

200 key papers
This is only the first volume of a nine volume set. It is the overview of some 50 years of research. Reprints of what the editors have considered to be the most influential of 200 papers on the subject. The original source documents. Invaluable to students of science and history.

All the key papers are here. For example, you can read Rudolf Mossbauer's own words on his research, for which he won the Nobel in record time - just a few years after his papers were published.

Worthy of belonging in a good scientific library. ... Read more

Like bells in my head
Let's not mince words here: this book is sublime. The tender words of Brian lifted me from my toes, and made me want to go outside for the first time. I could imagine him sitting, wearing sandals, writing this book just for me. I wear sandals now. I have grown a beard too.
His T1 and T2 times: they are my clothes and they support me, I am relaxed. Phase encoding, frequency encoding - they tell me where I am and where to be. Fourier transforms move me between domains of light and dark.
The perfection of this book almost moved me to change, and in a good way, not like last time. I stopped though. The last section is too short and makes me want more. I tried to tell the girl from next door, but she can't read yet. I tried to teach her but I did it too hard and now she won't breathe. Was this wrong? Tell me Brian. ... Read more

Product Description
Like the earth itself, the nucleus of an atom frequently rotates about an axis. Under the influence of a magnetic field the axis of rotation itself rotates. The rate of this 'precessional' motion is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field and usually lies in the region of radio-frequencies. If a collection of such nuclei is placed in a magnetic field is subjected to radio waves at exactly the frequency of precession, there is a resonance effect, which can be used to measure the frequency of the precession. This effect is called nuclear magnetic resonance. The subject concerns all physicists, particularly nuclear physicists and those interested in the solid state. It is of growing importance to chemists, metallurgists and electrical engineers and there have been some biological and geophysical applications. Nuclear magnetic resonance has already found considerable uses in the oil industry, in industries connected with magnet construction, isotope extraction, plastics and rubber. ... Read more
