High Resolution NMR: Theory and Chemical Applications, 3rd Edition

High Resolution NMR provides a broad  treatment of the principles and theory of nuclear magnetic resonance  (NMR) as it is used in the chemical sciences. It is written at an  "intermediate" level, with mathematics used to augment, rather than  replace, clear verbal descriptions of the phenomena. The book is  intended to allow a graduate student, advanced undergraduate, or  researcher to understand NMR at a fundamental level, and to see  illustrations of the applications of NMR to the determination of the  structure of small organic molecules and macromolecules, including  proteins. Emphasis is on the study of NMR in liquids, but the treatment  also includes high resolution NMR in the solid state and the principles  of NMR imaging and localized spectroscopy.
Careful attention is  given to developing and interrelating four approaches - steady state  energy levels, the rotating vector picture, the density matrix, and the  product operator formalism. The presentation is based on the assumption  that the reader has an acquaintance with the general principles of  quantum mechanics, but no extensive background in quantum theory or  proficiency in mathematics is required. Likewise, no previous background  in NMR is assumed, since the book begins with a description of the  basic physics, together with a brief account of the historical  development of the field.This third edition of High Resolution NMR preserves the "conversational" approach of the previous editions that has been well accepted as a teaching tool. However, more than half the material is new, and the remainder has been revised extensively. Problems are included to reinforce concepts in the book.
