It took a great deal of speculation and study concerning the formation of the rainbow to formulate the right hypotheses to explain the iridescence observed when white light passes through raindrops or pieces of glass. For a long time, ancient philosophers were far more interested in the propagation of the light than in its nature. \u003cem\u003eA History of Spectroscopy\u003c\/em\u003e retraces the major stages in the growth of the various spectroscopic methods from their origins, as well as the most recent advances and the hopes they raise for future technological progress. With its multidisciplinary aspects, it embodies a masterly and unique effort which has no equivalent in the published literature. The present contribution will be read with profit not only by students embarking on a career in physics in general and in spectroscopy or astrophysics more specifically, but also by students in many other related fields like chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmacy and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most extensive and detailed book on the history of spectroscopy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers a period of several centuries extending from Newton up to the present day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses recent progress in different fields and subfields of physics and more specifically in the domain of the analysis of the light.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emile Biémont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041108508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041108504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.56d","brand":"Emile Biémont","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47760572514559,"sku":"9781041108504","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b004cf59-017c-4d98-8769-e2ea01add024.jpg?v=1765513841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-spectroscopy-emile-bizsmont-9781041108504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
