For beginners and specialists in other fields: the Nobel Laureate's widely admired introduction to atomic spectra and their relationship to atomic structures, stressing basic principles. The treatment is physical, rather than mathematical, with experiment serving as the starting point for theory.
The simplest line spectra and the elements of atomic theory
Multiplet structure of line spectra and electron spin
The building-up principle and the periodic system of the elements
Finer details of atomic spectra
Hyperfine structure of spectral lines
Some experimental results and applications
