Product description

Review

It is essential that students have access to good textbooks, which give enough information to be useful to the specialist but do not overwhelm those begining in the subject. Higson had gone a long way towards providing such a book, which I am certain will be used widely in teaching analytical chemistry. ― Education in Chemistry 2004.

There is a simple design with well laid out text and uncomplicated diagrams. I particularly like the diagrams as they are very clear and would be easy for students to reproduce. The author has eradicated mathematics wherever possible, which will be popular with undergraduates. ― Chemistry World

Review

`The material is presented in such a way that the non-specialist will readily learn the principles of an unfamiliar technique...I like the sections on bioanalytical methods and on environmental analyses, which do much to extend the scope of this book beyond traditional chemistry classes. I recommend Analytical Chemistry to those teaching and studying the subject at university.' Education in Chemistry 2004.`There is a simple design with well laid out text and uncomplicated diagrams. I particularly like the diagrams as they are very clear and would be easy for students to reproduce. The author has eradicated mathematics wherever possible, which will be popular with undergraduates.' Chemistry World
