The success of NMR and its constant redevelopment mean that the literature is vast and wide-ranging. This volume contains chapters which distil the key recent literature in different areas, covering the spectrum of NMR theory and practice, including theory and computation of nuclear shielding, theoretical and practical aspects of indirect spin-spin couplings and nuclear spin relaxation. With applications across chemistry, physics and medicine, nuclear magnetic resonance is a proven, uniquely versatile and powerful spectroscopic technique, and other chapters on NMR in soft matter, NMR of proteins and nucleic acids and NMR in living systems provide accounts of its versatility.

All the reports in this volume are invaluable both for new researchers wishing to engage with literature for the first time, and for seasoned practitioners, particularly service managers, needing to keep in touch with the ever-expanding ways in which NMR is used.
