Provides a nonmathematical treatment of group theory, using numerous b&w diagrams to demonstrate the physical principles involved. Covers the electronic structure of various molecules, and advanced topics including molecular vibration and spectroscopic studies. Six appendices review relevant mathematics for the study of group theory. This second edition contains two new chapters on space groups. For students in chemistry, biology, and biochemistry with an elementary knowledge of valence theory. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
