Quantitative Chemical Analysis (QCA) is the bestselling textbook of choice for analytical chemistry. It continues to offer a consistently modern portrait of the tools and techniques of chemical analysis, incorporating real data, spreadsheets, and a wealth of applications. The material is presented in a personable style that engages students without compromising the principles and depth necessary for an extremely thorough and practical understanding. The eighth edition features new coverage of spectroscopy and statistics, to keep the information on these analytical tools completely relevant and up to date. It also has content and application updates throughout, especially in the increasingly important areas of nanotechnology and environmental chemistry. In addition, new pedagogy has been included, particularly new boxed applications and problem-solving questions, as well as enhanced lecturer support. The book also offers a companion website (www.whfreeman.com/qca8e) to aid understanding and learning. It reviews key concepts from the textbook through interactive exercises and learning tools such as online quizzes, experiments, living graphs and supplementary topics for students. It also provides assistance to those teaching from the book with textbook images and Powerpoint slides for use in class.

Daniel C. Harris was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1948. He earned degrees in Chemistry from MIT in 1968 and Caltech 1973 and was a postdoc at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. After teaching at the University of California at Davis from 1975-1980 and at Franklin and Marshall College from 1980-1983, he moved to the Naval Air Systems Command at China Lake, California, where he is now a Senior Scientist and Esteemed Fellow. While teaching analytical chemistry at Davis, he wrote his lectures in bound form for his students. This volume caught the attention of publishers' representatives wandering through the college bookstore. The first edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis was published in 1982. The first edition of Exploring Chemical Analysis came out in 1996. Both have undergone regular revision. Dan is also co-author of Symmetry and Spectroscopy published in 1978 by Oxford University Press and now available from Dover Press. His book Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes was published by SPIE press in 1999. Dan and his wife Sally were married in 1970. They have two children and four grandchildren. Sally's work on every edition of the books is essential to their quality and accuracy.

Book was exactly as advertised. Once I got it, however, I realized that it was the wrong version for my class. But they were super kind in taking it back and refunding it fully.

One of the best chemistry books around. If you are currently working in an analytical laboratory and don't know what you are doing, this is one of the best books ever!

Ok, so I originally bought the regular textbook on amazon for $147, hoping that it might come with a code to access the ebook (I know it didn't say it came with it, but a lot of new textbooks do, so I thought I'd try). Got the regular textbook, and it didn't come with anything, so I was searching for ebook access, because I didn't want to have to carry the book to class with me all the time. The WH Freeman website wanted to charge over $100 just for the ebook access code. Then I came across this amazon listing, but was hesitant because there were no reviews or pictures and not much of a description. Despite the hesitation, I decided to go for it since it was sold by Amazon...either it would be perfect and I could return the original textbook, or it would be the wrong item and I could return it and keep the original textbook.

Well, I got the item today and it is perfect! I understand that some people like real textbooks, but my main thing was getting the ebook, and it's a plus that I get a hard copy (even if it's loose leaf) to read when I'm not at school or get tired of reading it on the computer. I'm thinking this loose leaf book will fit into a large binder, but not sure yet. Plus, it came with a perfectly legitimate 12-month access code to the ebook! In my opinion, $94 for the loose leaf + ebook access is MUCH more worth it than $150 for the regular textbook, which I will be returning tomorrow!

So, get this one if you want the ebook access or not...if you want an actual hard textbook, this is not for you.
