An excellent book, 15 Jun 2007
An asset to undergraduates and even postgraduates who need a refreshing short book on the basic NMR principles. The book is of course good for how NMR is used for ascertaining inorganic processes/stuctures i.e. fluxionality and isomerism. The book is also just as useful to organic chemists.

For a primer, the book covers a lot of good information on the actual physical theory made use of in attaining an NMR spectrum, which is more important than an UG might appreciate, and they should make an effort to understand these things if the are to fully use NMR at the research level.

Content summary: 1) fundementals - does talk about coupling and relaxation mechanisms in good detail 2) structure determination 3) solid state.

A must for anyone entering the tipsy topsy world of MR, 15 Nov 2001
When I first stepped foot in the world of MR - this book was recommended to me by almost everyone in my research group. Gadian has helped me slip painlessly into this mind-boggling subject, and I continue to dip into his book even now that I'm in the depths of a PhD in sequence design.

This is the perfect book for anyone using or studying MRI or MRS. It'll tell you how it works, what it does, what it can do, and make sense of all the MR jargon.

It is rare to come across such an easily read book on such a complex subject, whilst retaining so much theoretical detail.
