Advanced Organic Chemistry
(Springer, 2007)The methods of organic synthesis have continued to advance rapidly and we have made an effort to reflect those advances in this Fifth Edition. Among the broad areas that have seen major developments are enantioselective ... -
Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(Springer, 2006)The first edition of Principles was published in 1983, and the second edition 16 years later in 1999. At that time I thought the third edition would not be written until 2010 or later. However, the technology of ... -
