• Thermal Events.- Thermogravimetry (TG).- Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).- Thermoptometry.- Thermomechanometry.- Combination of Thermal Analysis Techniques.- Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA).- Less-Common Techniques.- Reaction Kinetics from Thermal Analysis.- Purity Determination Using DSC.- Conclusions.

About the first edition: '...readable basic textbook covering material rarely seen in general analytical text, at a level where the reader may gain an adequate overview of the information to be obtained from the various methods... This book is a valuable starting point for those wishing to explore the field.' Peter C. Uden, University of Massachusetts in Journal of the American Chemical Society (1990) 'Brown's work is a convenient and easy-to-read first book for those intending to use thermal analysis methods; it is a practical help in getting started.' Gyorgy Pokol in Journal of Thermal Analysis (1990) 'it is a valuable book and should be in the hand of everyone who needs a quick, first overview of the field.' Bernhard Wunderlich, University of Tennessee in Journal of Thermal Analysis (1989) '...I have found the book suitable for adoption for the course that U teach to undergraduates. I have recommended the book for adoption as a prescribed textbook for the course...' S.D. Sithole, Senior Lecturer, Chemistry Dept., University of Zimbabwe
