Absorption Spe&ra in the I~#?umciRegion, Vol. 2, edited by L. Lang, Butterworths,London, 1976, pp. 318, price s17.50. This seriesof volumes presentsthe infmred spectraof substancesselected to be of interestto both academicand ~du~ researchworkers, particularly in the pharmaceuticalor petrochemicalindustries.Importancehas been attachedto the inclusion of spectraof compounds which have only recently been synthesisedor isolated. Spectraof more familiarsubstances(e.g. pyridine and dimethyl sulphoxide) are included “where they carry more notation than those from other publishedsourcesor where they refer to different conditions”. The empiricaland structuralformulae, molecularweight, melting or boilingpoint, and samplingconditions are givenwith each spectrum. Most spectraare recorded on a double beam UR-10 spectrometer. One criticismof the presentvolume is that there is no explanatorypreamble, and it is necessaryto refer back to volume 1 to discover the system by which the spectraare ordered. The sequenceis as follows: inorganics(there are none in this vohune), hydrocarbons,compounds with oxygen functions, compounds with nitrogenfunctions, and sulphurcompounds. Indexingis adequate, there being both name and formula indices.

13ymimic Nucleur Magnetic Resunance Spectruscupy, edited by L. M. Jackman and F, A_ Cotton, Academic Press,New York, 1975, pp. xiv -f- 660, price $443.00. This is the first comprehensivecoverageof DNMR and the high reputation of the contributorsensuresthat it will become the primer for anyone entering this field of study. The opening chapterentitled “Time-dependent magneticpertubations”has been written by ProfessorH_ S_ Gutowsky who played such a pioneeringtile in the development of this aspect of NMR. Fourteenother cha@ers by _ Klemperer, Binsch, Reeves, Freemanand Hill, Stemhell, Jackman,Jessonand Muetterties,Helm; Cotton, Vrieze, Adams and Cotton, Telkowski and Saunders,the Anets, and finally Grunwaldand Ralph provide a coverageof the theory and practiceof DNMR rangingover both organicand organometallic applicationswhich is unobtainableelsewhere, The book is well laid out with cleardiagramsand type. It will inevitably find its way onto the bookshelvesof all NMR laboratories.
