Freeman, R

To those who regularly attend the Experimental NMR Conference, it will come as no surprise that Ray Freeman's book is not only an informative exposition by a master of the craft, but also a refreshing look at the nuances of NMR spectroscopy in the inimitable Freeman style. Its charm and warmth ever present, the book seems more like a series of chats with an old friend than a monograph. The encyclopedic structure of the book and the use of fanciful cartoons provide a new approach to understanding an idiosyncratic, jargon-laden subject. Mathematics are kept to a minimum, and the author compiles a lexicon of phrases by using relaxed, comfortable language. The references are sparse, but they direct the reader to the appropriate literature. Given its lack of broadly defined chapters, the book is more akin to a dictionary than a monograph; the entries are too numerous to list. Almost any phrase relating to NMR spectroscopy of liquids and solutions can be found between the covers. Those topics not included as entries are adequately indexed to allow one to find related entries quickly.
