✦ Synopsis

• ''The authors have kept this book relevant and timely and have achieved their goal of providing useful information for practitioners. They understand what those who actually use GC/MS need, and continue to add appendixes of numerical information (increased from 12 to 17 in this revision)…The entire book has been updated and improved where needed; for example, chapter 6, covering the challenging topic of quantitation, has been ''completely reworked.'' Sparkman and his collaborators continue to write high-quality books that are extremely useful, precise, and interesting to both novices and experienced scientists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practicioners.''--CHOICE
