Available in paperback for the first time, this book describes the main methods of one- and two-dimensional high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in liquids within the quantum-mechanical formalism of the density matrix. In view of the increasing importance of NMR in chemistry and biochemistry, it is particularly addressed to those scientists who do not have a working knowledge of quantum calculations.

From reviews of the hardback edition:

`The book fills a gap in the market...' Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry

'Goldman's book is important and timely, written in a thorough, careful manner. It treats a selected number of fundamental two-dimensional NMR experiments at a level appropriate for a general graduate course in two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Physics Today

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful and versatile techniques now available for the study of molecular structure and reaction mechanisms. This classic account of modern NMR spctroscopy was heralded on its publication in 1987 as `the lasting text of its age' Nature. Now available in paperback, it provides a thoroughly comprehensive review of modern NMR techniques and the underlying principles. The material is presented in an intuitive manner within a rigourous mathematical framework, and is extensively illustrated throughout. It is, without question, an essential purchase for the self-respecting NMR spectroscopist.
