Understanding NMR Spectroscopy, Second Edition

Having spent several years as a graduate student working with solid state NMR spectroscopy, I have had ample time to survey the array of NMR texts on the market. James Keeler's text is one of the best I have found, combining coherent writing with a level of depth sufficient to lay the foundation of a graduate education. I would recommend it to anyone looking to study the practical aspects of NMR spectroscopy.

Don't worry-- it's worth the money. James Keeler does a fantastic job of explaining basic and advanced NMR topics in this second edition of Understanding NMR Spectroscopy. If you are just learning NMR spectroscopy for the first time, Keeler gives the most intuitive descriptions, and his writing is very easy to follow. If you are past the basics and looking for a more in-depth study, then this is still the book for you.

Probably the best book I read on NMR theory. Clear and easy to understand, you just need to work through every example and problem. I used to teach out of "NMR Spectroscopy Explained: Simplified Theory, Applications and Examples for Organic Chemistry and Structural Biology" by Niel Jacobsen but this book far surpasses it.

I am a grad student with PET and Mass spectrometry experience. Just wanted to dabble a little bit with NMR analysis to further my postdoc .Good side : 1.Very thorough. Everything is explained in great detail. You don't need to have a very good math background to begin with. 2.figures are great and carefully drawn. They assisted my understanding greatly. 3.No buzz words, no weird comparisons. The "English" is very easy to understand.Bad side : 1. Did not stimulate much of the critical thinking, lacks real life case studies 2. A little bit too lengthy in words. After reading the first two chapters, I started to skip words but only focused on figures and italic comments, and it worked better for me. 3. No answers for the exercise problems. The problems are not too hard though.Overall: 4/5 stars

(sorry this review is so late!) Book arrived in PERFECT condition. Shipping was incredibly FAST. It was a paperback book, and there were NO folds or impressions on the front and back covers. I was very impressed with the quality of the book. This book definitely helped me in my class!

Very nice book for learning about NMR. Contain some introductory material in first several chapters and some advanced material in later parts, suitable for both beginners and people who have worked a lot in NMR.

This book is understandable and very to the point. Moreover, this book printed with double colors, which looks really nice. I should buy it long before.

It allows me to understand the conceptual part of NMR quite easily.And the price is not bad cause it's a paper book.

I have a protein NMR background, and I have to say we do not have NMR books that are easy to understand. Despite Keeler focusing on 1D and 2D experiments of small molecules, the knowledge is beneficial to anyone looking to grasp the theory quickly and simply. He has done an excellent job of breaking complex physics into simple mathematics.

I really like this NMR book, very clear with all the techniques.

Qualche errore di stampa o di spaziatura non possono modificare il giudizio complessivo, che è ottimo a tutti i livelli. Il libro va bene per studiare le basi degli esperimenti NMR, spiega passo passo e le illustrazioni sono comprensibili e adatte per il Kindle. Lo consiglio agli studenti di chimica organica e a tutti coloro che vogliono farsi solide basi nell'NMR.

An excellent exposition to the Quantum mechanical analysis of NMR pulse sequences... loved the book, wish that the future editions will cover more advanced topics and the related mathematical treatment.

One of the NMR bibles, better for beginners than the one from Cavanagh, but I still recommend both. Great book, nice explanation.
