Harald Günther studied at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, USA. He then became an assistent at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Unversity of Cologne, Germany, where he also completed his habilitation. He became Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Siegen, Germany in 1978.

"Few good textbooks on NMR Spectroscopy are available at either the undergraduate or graduate levels. For those who want to go beyond elementary organic chemistry but without delving into all the mathematics Friebolin's book is probably the best among this category."
