The best.......2007-07-24
I bought this book about half way through my postgraduate studies in Physical chemistry, then immediately kicked myself for not buying it earlier. If you're a bit rusty in QM, as I was, then the chapter on QM is worth the price of admission alone, the same could really be said for all of the 5 chapters (Group Theory, QM, Vibrations, MO Theory and Electronic Transitions) though as they are all clear, well constructed, with nice problems (and solutions for most). Great introduction for any aspiring Physical Chemist.
Excellent spectroscopy book.......2007-05-17
There was really no need for my short review to convince anyone interested or even marginally active in the field of molecular spectroscopy that the SYMMETRY AND SPECTROSCOPY-Introduction to Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy by D.C. Harris and M.D. Bertolucci is an excellent presentation of the underlying physical principles, the laws and parameters involved in the measurement and, above all and in accordance with the title, the involvement of symmetry on the appearance of virbrational and electronic spectra.
Recommended, in my opinion, to both students and tutors, and to those interested in the application or the theoretical part of the aforementioned spectroscopic fields.
loved this book .......2007-03-29
I used this book to supplement my molecular spec. course many years ago. As others have noted - very friendly in its tone.
For other classic books in this area look at:
1. Introduction to Molecular Spectroscopy by Gordon M. Barrow, McGraw-Hill, 1962 (You should avoid his more commonly found book with a similar title: The Structure of Molecules: An Introduction to Molecular Spectroscopy, published by W. A. Benjamin, 1964. This book is too basic.)
2. Introduction to Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy by William A. Guillory, Allyn and Bacon, 1977
Check out my other reviews for other chem books.
Great book........2007-03-17
Got this book to study for a Spectroscopy of Optical Materials course and it was wonderfull. Easy to follow and complete.
Great book for a difficult subject.......2006-02-26
Harris and Bertolucci do a great job of covering every detail needed to know to understand the subject. Good guide to confusing subject.

Enjoying Molecular Symmetry and Spectroscopy.......2000-05-05
This book authored by P. R. Bunker & P. Jensen is the second edition of the well known book on molecular spectroscopy by Phil Bunker and it is considerably larger than the first edition (probably 50% larger). I feel that anyone interested in theoretical molecular spectroscopy should have this book within easy reach. It is a very important addition to the textbooks by Herzberg and covers the entire field of theoretical molecular spectroscopy in a very lucid and clear manner. I particularly enjoyed the chapters devoted to develop the molecular Hamiltonian in detail and to show how successive approximations can be used in solving it. It makes you love spectroscopy. Indispensable.
THE book for Molecular Symmetry!.......2000-05-02
This book is THE place to learn the modern approach to symmetry in molecular spectroscopy. The clear presentation of the Molecular Symmetry Group and how it is to be used alone make this book an essential item for any molecular spectroscopist. This work, however, does much more than that - deriving the molecular Hamiltonian, the descriptions and symmetry properties of the basis sets used at various levels of approximation, the symmetry rules for interactions, transitions, etc. etc. Clearly presented this book is an enormously enhanced and expanded (by 50%) version of the first edition. There is no other work which covers this ground - and few if any works in this field that have the same breadth and clarity. My recommendation is: You can't do without it!
An essential book on the theory of molecular spectroscopy.......2000-05-01
This book on molecular spectroscopy should be on the bookshelf of every practicing molecular spectroscopist and every post graduate student working in molecular spectroscopy. It complements the classic books of Herzberg in that it gives a virtually complete account of all the theory required for the interpretation of gas phase molecular spectra. The writing is clear and the book covers the subject comprehensively. Bunker and Jensen have done a great job of making a complex subject accessible.
Molecular Symmetry and Spectroscopy.......2000-03-30
Molecular Symmetry and Spectroscopy by P. R. Bunker and Per Jensen is a very much enlarged second edition of Bunker's classic text; the book has now grown into a rather complete account of the theory necessary to understand high resolution molecular spectra. As such it represents a welcome update and complement to Herzberg's textbooks. The writing is remarkably lucid, and in the space of the first three chapters the Molecular Symmetry Group is very clearly introduced. The body of the text explains how this group is related to the Molecular Point Group (which is of much more limited usefulness) and how it should be applied in all areas of the subject. In this way the entire subject is covered. Early chapters cover `The Molecular Hamiltonian and its Symmetry' (Chapter 7), `Nuclear Spin Statistics' (Chapter 8), and `The Born-Oppenheimer Approximation and the Electronic Wavefunctions' (Chapter 9). Later chapters cover a wide range of topics. Particularly impressive are the chapters on interactions (Chapter 13), intensities (Chapter 14), Nonrigid Molecules (Chapter 15), and Weakly Bound Cluster Molecules (Chapter 16). This impressive book is a must for anybody who wishes to study molecular spectroscopy, both as an introductory text and as a companion in the laboratory.

Principles of Symmetry, Dynamics, and Spectroscopy.......2000-04-28
This book is a detailed summary of Professor Harter's contributions to the subject. They are couched in a mathematical framework that will probably make them inaccessible to any practicing molecular spectroscopist and it is hard to recommend this book to any except specialists in the field of mathematical group theory.
Book Description
This accessible text requires minimal mathematical background and provides a firm foundation for more advanced studies. Topics include deformation and stress, the derivation of the equations of finite elasticity, and the formulation of infinitesimal elasticity with application to some two- and three-dimensional static problems and elastic waves. Solutions. 1980 edition.

Elasticity Theory Clear and Concise.......2007-02-18
Exellent elementary introduction to the theory of elasticity. Clear and concise exposition of the basic principles, with many valuable applications and exercises. Requires only basic knowledge in physics, calculus incl. vector analysis and linear algebra. Good starting point for more advanced treatments of the subject.
A good Introduction.......2006-07-13
I read the first three chapters because I am only interested in finite strains. It is very well written and easy to follow but some concepts need more elaboration such as the 2nd PK stress, or for example there is no mention of Green-Lagrange strain. So it's a good introduction but doesn't go into a lot of detail as you can tell from the volume of the book.

Book Description
This book is a textbook, providing a full exposition of the phenomenological theory of linear viscoelastic behavior for the use of the practicing scientist or engineer as well as the academic teacher or student. Although the theory was developed for polymeric materials, it is also applicable to other materials such as metals and ceramics. The theory of linear viscoelastic behavior is described through the use of the Laplace transformation. The treatment of linear time-dependent systems in terms of the Laplace transforms of the excitation and response variables has by now become commonplace in other fields. Elementary calculus and the rudiments of complex variable theory is the basic mathematical apparatus required for a profitable use of this book. The elements of transformation calculus are summarized in an Appendix.

Book Description
This book is based on a series of lectures delivered over the years by the author at the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, at the University of Stuttgart, and at City University of Hong Kong. Its two-fold aim is to provide a thorough introduction to the basic theorems of differential geometry and to elasticity in curvilinear coordinates and shell theory. To this end, the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorems are proved in great details. Such theorems include the fundamental theorem of surface theory, which asserts that the Gauss and Codazzi-Mainardi equations are sufficient for the existence of a surface with prescribed fundamental forms, as well as the corresponding rigidity theorem. Recent results, which have not yet appeared in book form are also included, such as the continuity of a surface as a function of its fundamental forms. This book also provides a detailed description of the equations of nonlinear and linearized elasticity in curvilinear coordinates, together with a direct proof of the three-dimensional Korn inequality in curvilinear coordinates. The book also includes a detailed description of Koiter's equations for nonlinearly and linearly elastic shells, a complete analysis of the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solutions of Koiter's equations in the linear case. The treatment is essentially self-contained and proofs are complete. In particular, no a priori knowledge of diferential geometry or elasticity theory or shell theory is assumed. Another highlight of this book is the focus on the interplay between "theoretical" and "applied" differential geometry. For instance, rather than being introduced in a formal way, covariant derivatives of a tensor field appear in a natural way in the course of the derivation of the basic boundary value problems of nonlinear elasticity in curvilinear coordinates and of shell theory.

Book Description
This highly regarded hardcover engineering manual is mainly concerned with three important aspects of elasticity theory: finite elastic deformations, complex variable methods for two-dimensional problems for both isotropic and aeolotropic bodies, and shell theory. Also discussed are three-dimensional problems for isotropic and transversely isotropic bodies. Chapter 1, devoted to mathematical preliminaries, includes a summary of tensors for workers unfamiliar with those notations. Subsequent chapters deal with the general theory of elasticity for finite deformations, solutions of a number of special problems, mostly for incompressible isotropic bodies, a theory of small deformations superposed on finite deformations, classical infinitesimal theory of elasticity, the theory of plane strain, plate theory, plane problems for isotropic bodies, and for aeolotropic bodies. The last chapters, 10-16, are devoted to the theory of shells. For this second edition, the authors added material on thermodynamics, as well as a new chapter dealing with methods of deriving membrane theory, inextensional theory, and bending theory, by asymptotic expansions of the three-dimensional linear elastic equations. Unabridged Dover republication of the second edition published by Oxford University Press, 1968. Prefaces. 25 black-and-white illustrations.

A classical and useful book on theoretical elasticity.......2007-03-18
This book is exactly about what the title declares:"Theoretical elasticity". It contains all the necessary mathematical framework (tensors in curvilinear coordinate systems) in the first chapter. This chapter also introduces the reader to the complex potentials method. The second chapter is about continuum kinematics, stress and strain. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with finite deformations, while the well-known infinitesimal theory (the theory of elasticity which all books on the subject include) shows up in the 5th chapter. Chapter 6 is about plane strain (anisotropic bodies and complex variable methods included). Plate theory is presented in chapter 7. Chapters 8 and 9 are about plane problems for isotropic and anisotropic bodies using complex variable methods, really a very good collection of classical problems. Finally, chapters 10-16 are devoted to shell theory.
In my oppinion it is one of the best, almost all-inclusive books on the subject.
An Excellent Book.......2000-05-15
This book is an excellent book on the subject available. I have used the book for my classes and I love it. Its really useful.

The Three Cornered World is the novelistic expression of the contrast between the Western ethical view of reality and the Eastern ethical view by one of Japan's most beloved authors.
Customer Reviews:
Will the Artist Ever escape the Wheel of Existence? Sould He?.......2007-06-13
There are many themes examined in The Three Cornered world, the most predominant being the interior thoughts of the painter-poet on his vision quest. Much mush has been written of the Japanese poets' concern with nature, but here, for all its landscapes and mountains and moons and spring airs, we see what that nature poetry is truly all about. Nature in Soseki (For, among other things, Soseki is creating, not only a novel, but expressing a theory of aesthetics) is not an object apart from the artist (Who is different from most people) it is a sense object, and nature is not the thing, but the source of sensual awareness. Japan is a sensual country, and the Japanese are a sensual people. The Japanese, for all their supposed rigidity and formality, are deeply emotional and intense, and are the most avowedly aesthetic (Not rational, not formal, but artistic) culture that our species has produced. The Three Cornered World examines this theme of the artist in the world and connects this theme to a more general concept of the artist as a person aware of the world's artists--at least the asthetics of China and England--in a manner that suggests the importance and value and uncertainty of the life of the artist. While Soseki longs for a Buddhist escape from the "Real" world, at the same time, his artist is at his most absurd, even silly, when he acheives that escape from the real world. No matter what, the man is never more alive, more real, than when he is with the incredible O-Nami, and he is never more in the world than when thinking of her. As with many real Japanese women, no man worthy of living would fail to fall in love with her, as Soseki's protagonist certainly does. I did.
Glenn Gould's Favorite Book.......2004-01-07
Glenn Gould lived the "hermit lifestyle" after his retreat from the concert stage in 1964. Just a little later the English translation of Soseki's book appeared, and the "Oracle from Toronto" considered it a great inspiration for his life as an artist. He used it as a subject in one of his radio programs and kept referring to it until the end of his life.
The subject of the three-cornered world (TCW) is the relationship between the artist and his environment. While the book's Japanese title can be best translated as "Grass Pillow", a symbol for a journey, the translator chose the current title based on the book's statement that the artist inhabits a three-cornered world from which the one corner that is part of all non-artists' life, the rationality, has been removed. Apart from the obvious interest that a Gould devotee may get out of reading the book that inspired the world's greatest recording artist, this book is a remarkable bridge between the traditional Japanese literature and it's modern counterparts.
The TCW describes a symbolic trip of the painting/writing protagonist up a mountain and his stay at a deserted inn, where he "interacts" with the innkeeper's daughter. Soseki wrote in a very precise and poetic style and this book has been properly characterized as a word-painting. The initial trip up the mountain greatly reminded me of a similar trip in Murakami's "Norwegian Wood". During the ascent the artist reflects upon life, society and the artist. He puts forward the notion that an artist interacts with the "real world" as if it were a two-dimensional picture, that he himself is not really part of. Through interaction with characters he encounters during his trip and subsequent stay this notion is worked out in more detail and receives comments from the outsiders. In the second part of the book the artist is mesmerized by the innkeeper's daughter, who is a favorite subject of local gossip. While I am not quite sure that the author intended to give the ensuing "distant interaction" humorous overtones, I thought that the lack of action following the lady's sharing of the steamy hot tub downright funny. Yet, the girl becomes the symbol of the artist's subject and the book ends in a beautiful finale stressing the importance of compassion in art.
In all this is a short, very worthwhile read. The story flows seemingly effortless in a way that reminds one of the famous liner notes that Bill Evans wrote for Miles' Davis "Kind of Blue" album. All characters are truly three-dimensional and the writing style is fluent and evocative. I addition, this book gives a unique Eastern perspective on the relationship between art(ists) and society.
Just after finishing this book, I received Kevin Bazzana's superb new Gould biography from Amazon Canada, which mentions this book on several occasions. Let's hope that the TCW may get a revival, both for it's own great merits and the effect the writer continues to have on contemporary Japanese literature.
A beautiful meditation on art and the artist.......2000-05-18
This book is not just a wonderful introduction to the differences between Western and Eastern views of art. It is a lovely exploration of art in general -- the need for art, the demands made on an artist, and especially the place of artists and their work in the world.

Truly a Wonderful Collection of Poems.......2000-07-19
From a Three Cornered World takes poems from Jim Mitsui's three previous books and adds them to three sections of new poems. Jim Mitsui, is of course of Japanese descent, but the poet is also a Washington state poet, and an American poet. From the beginning, Mitsui shows careful attention to the things which influence his life. Jim Mitsui takes the reader on a guided tour of his family and his wonderfully rich view of the world. The reader sees the author's world from a multitude of perspectives ranging from childhood to career to friendships to love. Add to this that the poet has a magnificent sense of personal history, that is a personal perspective of history, and you cannot go wrong. Being fortunate enough to listen to Mitsui both read and talk about his poetry, I have come away with a sense that he wants me to discover rather than be told what to expect from these poems. Often influenced by paintings and the wonderful minutia of everyday life, I find myself reading his poem, "Rationale," again and again. The two line ars poetica is as powerful as that of Neruda. Quite simply, this is a fascinating collection of poetry of which I shall never tire.
