Seemingly forever ago, I spent many, many hours perusing the pages of the Principles of Plasma Spectroscopy by Hans Griem. Without it, I would have been lost in a forest of equations, making little progress towards understanding the basics of spectroscopy and plasma physics. Griem made accessible what others only too easily complicated. He stressed critical details. Most importantly, his work was useful. Throughout my career, I have turned to his text for reference and inspiration and will continue to do so.
