This book reviews the results obtained by Mossbauer spectroscopy.The book presents the basic principles underlying the phenomena involved, outlines the experimental techniques used, and summarises the wealth of experimental and theoretical results which have been obtained.

Authors tried to give some feeling for the physical basis of the Mossbauer effect without extensive use of mathematical formalism, and some appreciation of the experimental methods employed without embarking on a detailed discussion of electronics and instrumentation.
Full references to the original literature are provided and particular points can readily be pursued in more detail if required.
