"...well written and organized. ...would make an excellent addition to the library of the most experienced, practicing spectroscopist." --Applied Spectroscopy"...will certainly be a most useful reference book." --Trends in Analytical Chemistry"By current standards for scientific books, this one is not unreasonably priced and I have no hesitation in recommending that it should be added to the library of anyone who uses atomic absorption spectrometry." --The Analyst"For the current user of the technique the well referenced sections critically evaluate the state-of-the-art, while for the newer user the text will form the basis of a good laboratory handbook which offers a comprehensive instruction on the theory and instrumental design in AAS." --Fresenius Journal of Analytical Chemistry"...full of practical details... It is a text to be highly recommended." --Talanta"..there is much to recommend this text. It should find its way to a number of bookshelves (and one may hope, to lab benches) of practical chemists interested in practical analysis." --Clinical Chemistry
