The Second European Conference on Atomic and Molecular Physics was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 15 through 19 April 1985. This report focuses on presentations dealing with Rydberg systems, clusters, and coherent vacuum ultraviolet and x-ray ultraviolet generation. It also lists the topics of all other fields covered by the meeting. Keywords: Atomic physics; Molecular physics; Rydberg systems; Clusters; Vacuum ultraviolet radiation; X-ray ultraviolet radiation.

This book introduces the fundamental quantum physics of atoms and molecules. Divided into three parts, the first provides a historical perspective leading to the contemporary view of atomic and molecular physics, outlining the principles of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The second part covers the physical description of atoms and their interaction with radiation, whilst the third part deals with molecular physics. The book is the first of a series of three aiming to present a broad coverage of atomic, molecular, solid-state and statistical physics. It is well suited accompany a one-semester undergraduate course in quantum physics but will be enjoyed by anyone trying to enter the realm of atoms and molecules and how we understand them.
