I found this an excellent text that contains a lot of useful material in one place. The book provides both nice reviews of basic background subjects (e.g. quantum mechanics and electrodynamics), as well as fine detail on more advanced subjects related to specific diagnostics and analysis tools. It's a great textbook and reference for my shelf. As a person who does experimental spectroscopy, I've found it a superb sourcebook and use it quite often in my work.
