Atomic Physics Book - What Should I Read?

[Niles]

Hi

I can't seem to find any recommendations for a good atomic physics book on this site. What would you guys recommend? The level is senior undergraduate/beginning graduate physics. I have C.J. Foot's "Atomic Physics" already.

Any help will be appreciated.

Atomic Physics by Born

I whole-heartedly back up Born's book. If you wish to get more mathematical, then Bransden and Joachain's text on atomic and molecular physics will do as well.

Thanks. What about books that explain the fine structure, hyperfine structure very easy? It is something that I have always been in search of.Niles.
