The first edition of this book was written in 1961 when I was
Morris Loeb Lecturer in Physics at Harvard. In the preface I wrote:
"The problem faced by a beginner today is enormous. If he attempts
to read a current article, he often finds that the first paragraph
refers to an earlier paper on which the whole article is based, and
with which the author naturally assumes familiarity. That reference
in turn is based on another, so the hapless student finds himself
in a seemingly endless retreat. I have felt that graduate students
or others beginning research in magnetic resonance needed a book
which really went into the details of calculations, yet was aimed
at the beginner rather than the expert. " The original goal was to
treat only those topics that are essential to an understanding of
the literature. Thus the goal was to be selective rather than
comprehensive. With the passage of time, important new concepts
were becoming so all-pervasive that I felt the need to add them.
That led to the second edition, which Dr. Lotsch, Physics Editor of
Springer-Verlag, encouraged me to write and which helped launch the
Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences. Now, ten years later, that
book (and its 1980 revised printing) is no longer available.
Meanwhile, workers in magnetic resonance have continued to develop
startling new insights.
