The authors explain how such progress was possible by highlighting connections between developments that occurred at different times. They discuss the new perspectives and the new research fields that look promising. The emphasis is placed, not on detailed calculations, but rather on physical ideas. Combining both theoretical and experimental considerations, the book will be of interest to a wide range of students, teachers and researchers in quantum and atomic physics.\nContents:\n\n\nGeneral Introduction\nGeneral Background\n\n\nLight: A Source of Information on Atoms:\n\nOptical Methods\nLinear Superpositions of Internal Atomic States\nResonance Fluorescence\nAdvances in High Resolution Spectroscopy\n\n\n\nAtom-Photon Interactions: A Source of Perturbations forAtoms Which Can Be Useful:\n\nPerturbations Due to a Quasi Resonant Optical Excitation\nPerturbations Due to a High Frequency Excitation\n\n\n\nAtom-Photon Interactions: A Simple System for Studying Higher Order Effects:\n\nMultiphoton Processes Between Discrete States\nPhotoionization of Atoms in Intense Laser fields\n\n\n\nAtom-Photon Interactions: A Tool for Controlling and Manipulating Atomic Motion:\n\nRadiative Forces Exerted on a Two-Level Atom at Rest\nLaser Cooling of Two-Level Atoms\nSub-Doppler Cooling.
