In his latest edition of the highly successful Organic Spectroscopy, William Kemp continues to keep both student and researcher informed of the most recent developments in the various fields of spectroscopy. The main features of the second edition are retained, including the muitinuclear approach to theory, the stepvvise guidance on spectrum analysis, the discussion of a variety of nuclei and the summary of recent multipulse experiments. The publication of this third edition has been centred around three main themes: The introduction of around a hundred new student exercises throughout the book, both in the form of vvorked examples (showing the working of a model problem, with a model answer to the question) and of problem 'exercises' for the student to practise, having first seen the method demonstrated in the model. The chapter on nuclear magnetic resonance has been considerably extended to take cognisance of its position as the pre-eminent method for structural determination in organic chemistry. The successful method adopted in previous editions, of developing the more complex areas of a subject by the use of supplements, again pays dividends in this third edition, allovving the new student to get to grips with the simpler idea of NMR, and thereafter, at his/her own pace, to tackle the conceptual complexities of the subject, such as rotating frames and pulse angles. The need to minimize discussion of obsolete instruments and techniques is acknovvtedged, and instead, more space is devoted to spectrometer operation, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, vvhich are now becoming more available and vvidely used in spectroscopy laboratories. About the Author William Kemp took both his first degree and his PhD at Glasgovv. After a spell in industry he moved into teaching and is currently Senior Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at Heriot-Watt University. He is an experienced author and has had several books published, including NMR in Chemistry - A Mu
