Summary
Summary
Of related interest...Radiochemistry and Nuclear Methods of Analysis William D. Ehmann and Diane Vance Here is a concise review of the state of the art in radio chemistry and nuclear methods of analysis. It provides a thorough look at the fundamentals of radiochemistry as well as the specific applications of nuclear techniques to analytical chemistry. There is also considerable coverage of the current nuclear methods of analysis such as neutron activation PIXE, nuclear reaction analysis, Rutherford backscattering, isotope dilution, and more. This comprehensive reference would form an excellent basic text for upper-division undergraduate or graduate courses in this critical field. 1991 (0 471-60076-8) 552 pp. Analytical Raman Spectroscopy Edited by Jeanette G. Grasselli and Bernard J. Bulkin Analytical Raman Spectroscopy charts, through a series of contributed articles, the spectacular versatility of the method and its applications in semiconductor characterization, synthetic organic polymer analysis, organic and petrochemical analysis, heterogeneous catalysts, and biological studies. Chapters feature an outline structure which systematically details the critical aspects of each subject discussed. The book provides a unique look at the field's fundamental operational techniques, instrumentation, and up-to-the-minute advances: components of modern Raman spectrometers; Raman spectroscopy of inorganic species in solution; quantitative analysis by Raman spectroscopy; and much more. 1991 (0 471-51955-3) 480 pp. Principles and Practice of Spectroscopic Calibration Howard Mark Clearly linking theory with applications, this unique guide to spectroscopic calibration advances an approach that is understandable, free of the usual uncertainties, and simple to execute. The book details the practical aspects of generating a calibration equation, as well as the basics of recognizing and dealing with different types of problems affecting calibration. Most of the procedures are applicable to such sophisticated and popular approaches as Principal Component Calibration (PCA), Partial Least Squares Calibration (PLS), and Fourier Transform Calibration. 1991 (0 471-54614-3) 208 pp.
Author Notes
About the author SUSAN J. PARRY is a lecturer at the Imperial College Reactor Centre, in Ascot, England, and the Director of its Research Services. Dr. Parry's research interests include the development of neutron activation analysis techniques, particularly for mineral exploration applications. She is currently working on a technique which could provide a serious alternative to current methods of gold analysis. She also teaches at the Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine and the University of London. Dr. Parry is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Chartered Chemist. Dr. Parry received her BSc (Hon.) in applied chemistry from the University of Salford and her PhD in radiochemistry from the University of London.

Choice Review
Parry's book is a guide to the use of activation analysis for students at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, and researchers, all who can use the technique effectively if they learn about it accurately and with an economy of presentation. Parry, an expert in the field, writes in a clean, low-key style; in careful, measured prose she gives details of the principles, methods of sampling, and preparation of carefully detailed measurable standards; counting and irradiation techniques; and a wide range of applications in environmental, geological, biomedical, and industrial fields. Counting techniques for samples in each area and their range of trace elements provide practical as well as fascinating information. Current references (through 1990) are provided for each of the 16 chapters. There are no other standard works that cover the same range with the same depth. Highly recommended for both undergraduate and graduate libraries.-M. E. Thompson, College of St. Catherine
