Résumé :	"The continual appearance of diverse books on infrared spectroscopy shows the liveliness of this field. In a subject with so many ramifications there is certainly room for a variety of hooks and probably no single volume can adequately cover all aspects of the subject. The aim of the volume under review is "to present basic concepts, measurements, and techniques of infrared spectroscopy and to survey as completely as possible its chemical applications." The first chapter is devoted to basic concepts, instrumentation and technique. One is immediately aware of a particularly strong point of the book, namely, the abundance of specific examples, data, spectra, and graphs. The level of treatment is low-intermediate. The basic concepts are handled in a nonmathematical manner. There is a qualitative discussion with diagram of the modes of vibration but there is no discussion of symmetry properties or rotational spectra. Emphasis is on the factors which affect the vibrational modes in complex molecules. Thus, students desiring a firm grasp of theory will have to look elsewhere. The neophyte in practical work in infrared spectroscopy will need supplementary material. Under instrumentation and technique a large number of topics is discussed but at times the treatment is somewhat sketchy. For example, there are sections on microtechniques, spectra under high pressure, difference and derivative spectroscopy but there are few how-to-do-it directions. The hulk of the book is devoted to structure correlations in the near, medium, and far infrared regions. Individual chapters are devoted to the various classes of organic compounds, to high polymers, to specific applications to organic chemistry, and to biochemistry. A chapter on inorganic compounds emphasizes simple and complex ions. There is also a brief chapter on quantitative analysis and one on miscellaneous topics. In an appendix there are some remarks on the teaching of infrared spectroscopy, suggestions for a few experiments and a set of problems. One of the most praiseworthy features of the book is the more than 2500 references to, everything from textbooks to manufacturers’ bulletins from the literature of at least fifteen countries. The citations extend into 1962 hut not far enough to include mention of the work on the noble gas halides."
