<p>Synchrotron radiation has been a revolutionary and invaluable research tool for a wide range of scientists, including chemists, biologists, physicists, materials scientists, geophysicists. It has also found multidisciplinary applications with problems ranging from archeology through cultural heritage to paleontology.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>The subject of this book is x-ray spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, and the target audience is both current and potential users of synchrotron facilities. &nbsp;The first half of the book introduces readers to the fundamentals of storage ring operations, the qualities of the synchrotron radiation produced, the x-ray optics required to transport this radiation, and the detectors used for measurements. &nbsp;The second half of the book describes the important spectroscopic techniques that use synchrotron x-rays, including chapters on x-ray absorption, x-ray fluorescence, resonant and non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, nuclear spectroscopies, and x-ray photoemission. &nbsp;A final chapter surveys the exciting developments of free electron laser sources, which promise a second revolution in x-ray science.<p></p><p>&nbsp;</p>Thanks to the detailed descriptions in the book, prospective users will be able to quickly begin working with these techniques. &nbsp;Experienced users will find useful summaries, key equations, and exhaustive references to key papers in the field, as well as outlines of the historical developments in the field.&nbsp; Along with plentiful illustrations, this work includes access to supplemental <i>Mathematica</i> notebooks, which can be used for some of the more complex calculations and as a teaching aid.&nbsp; This book should appeal to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and senior scientists alike.
