Riley, T. and Tomlinson, C., Principles of Electroanalytical Methods, ACOL Series, Wiley, Chichester, 1987. This is the first of the three Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning (ACOL) texts on electroanalysis (all of which are now out of print), and the lesser of the three in terms of quality, so few of today s readers will bother to search its pages now. It is nevertheless quite a good introduction to the field, although its age is showing quite badly. The lack of an index, together with other period features, detract from an otherwise readable book. 

The development of standard methods of analysis has been a prime objective of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry and its precursors, the Society of Public Analysts and the Society for Analytical Chemistry, since the earliest of days and the results of this work have been recorded in the pages of The Analyst since its inception in 1876. An Analytical Investigation Scheme was proposed by A. Chaston Chapman in 1902. This later evolved into the Standing Committee on Uniformity of Analytical Methods and was charged with developing standard chemicals and securing comparative analyses of these standard materials. 

A milestone was reached in 1982 when my evolving material was published at the invitation of Prof. Eli Grushka as a 100-page chapter in the Treatise of Analytical Chemistry. The building and refining continued. Now, in early 1990, after the sixteenth course offering (one at Cayetano Heredia University in Peru in 1974 and one at the University of Washington in 1984), the manuscript has been temporarily closed and sent to the publisher. 

Pure iron, containing only about 0.01% of impurities, can be made by electrolytic reduction of iron salts. It has little use a small amount is used in analytical chemistry, and a small amount in the treatment of anemia. Metallic iron is greatly strengthened by the presence of a small amount of carbon, and its mechanical and chemical properties are also improved by moderate amounts of other elements, especially other transition metals. Wrought iron, cast iron, and steel are described from page 535 on. 

Spreadsheet Applications. Applications of Microsoft Excel in Analytical Chemistry, by Stanley R. Crouch and F. James Holler, treats in detail the spreadsheet approaches summarized in the text. This supplement contains 16 chapters that lead the student from basic concepts and operations to using spreadsheets for simulations, curve fitting, data smoothing, curve resolution, and many other topics. Topics in this companion book are correlated with topics in the text. See pages xvii and xviii for a correlation chart. Summaries in the text point to specific chapters and sections in the companion book. For added value and convenience, this ancillary can be packaged with the text. Contact your Thomson Brooks/Cole representative for details.

Some of the major books completely devoted to the principles and fundamentals of some form of electroanalytical chemistry have been written or edited by Wilson and Wilson, editors (1975) (Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry, Vol 2 D, Coulometric analysis, a dose to 700-page volume) Vassos... 

With respect to other major literature on or related to XRE, are chapters in various analytical series and individual books. Two chapters are in the first edition of the famous Treatise on Analytical Chemistry. Comprehensive coverage of X-ray methods absorption, diffraction, and emission is provided by Liebhafsky et al. (1964) in a 90-page chapter in the section on Optical methods of analysis (E. J. Meehan, section advisor). This is immediately followed by the chapter by Wittry (1964) on X-ray microanalysis by means of electron probes. Chapters on relevant topics appearing in the other well known series on analytical chemistry. Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry, are by Beretka (1975) (Analytical applications of electron microscopy) with a brief mention of the XRF-based technique electron probe...

Instrumentation for Analytical Chemistry gives rise to many abbreviations forming acronyms . These are often more encountered than the terms they abbreviate, and they appear extensively in the text. A reader new to the field may become lost or disoriented in this thicket of initials. To aid the student in reading the text, the Acronym Index below translates these and indicates the chapter and page where they are best defined or characterized. These acronyms are frequently compounded, as in UV/VIS (ultraviolet/ visible) or LC-CI-TOFMS (Interfaced Liquid Chromatograph to Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer operating in Chemical Ionization mode). The components of such compounded acronyms are listed individually in the index, but not aU the possible combinations.
