PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Stefan Berger was intrigued by NMR after having won a bottle of beer during an introductory course in organic NMR led by Professor H. Suhr at the University of Tübingen in 1968. After completing a PhD thesis with Professor Anton Rieker, in 1973 he joined Professor J. D. Roberts at Caltech for postdoctoral work, where he also met Professor D.M. Grant and Professor D. Seebach, who were then guest professors in Pasadena. This period was decisive to try a Habilitation in NMR spectroscopy, which was achieved at the University Marburg. At the University Leipzig his aim is to combine methodological development of NMR and its application to bioorganic problems.
This book is an excellent catalogue of useful NMR experiments for people who are looking for the most suitable experiment to solve a specific problem. It collects in one place all the currently pulse sequences from liquid NMR spectroscopy, discusses their relative merits, the time required to perform them and gives experimental examples measured by the authors for this book. ... In conclusion, I think this book is a great encyclopedia of the techniques of modern liquid state NMR spectroscopy. It is highly readabele and should be on the shelf of any serious NMR spectroscopist, who does more complicated experiments than routine H-NMR spectroscopy. Finally instrument vendors should consider packing at least one copy of this book with every new NMR machine and using it as an educational toot when installing the machine. Dr. Gerd Buntkowsky, FSU Jena, Zeitschrift fur Physikalische Chemie, Band 218, Heft 11 This third edition serves as a detailed guide to NMR, complete with 206 experiments ranging form 1-D trials to more complex 3-D experiments on proteins. Analytical Chemistry, November 1, 2004 The handbook is written by experts and gives very detailed step-by-step instructions. ... This excellent book is very well written and builds on the success of the earlier version that was largely due to its clarity, information content and the fact that the methods worked. J. Lindon, Chromatographia 2005, Vol. 61/No. 1/2 I highly recommend this book to all scientists who are trying to implement new experimental schemes in liquid-state NMR spectroscopy. It is a very useful NMR >cookbook< and a good starting point to find additional detailed information about experimental methods. Dr. Matthias Ernst, ETH Zurich, Physical Chemistry, ChemPhysChem, 5/2005 ...I find it to be one of the most useful books on my shelf...each new edition has brought substantial improvements...you will not be sorry if you acquire a copy for your personal library.
