BOOKREVIEWS
394 Amz~d Review of N.M.R. Sflectrosco~y, Vol. I, Edited Press Inc., London, 1968, x + 353 pp., price 95 s.
by E. IT. MOONEY, Academic
.
This volume consists of seven reviews by contributory authors covering the literature up to ‘the end of 1966. The first, a General Review of Proton Magnetic I\‘asomzme by R. A. Y. .JONES, is an extremely useful survey of the literature of 1966 and early 1967 written in the style of Annual Reports of the Chemical Society (referred to as Reviews in the Editorial Preface). N.M.R. Sj3ectroscopy in Cou..ormaatio?tal Analysis is covered by W. A. T,ronms in a chapter in which some unfortunate but possibly unavoidable overlap with Chapter I occurs (cj. p. 12 and sS,sg). The third review is an excellent account of ‘ri&e Ider$retation of High Resolution N. M.R. Sfiectm by E:. 0. 13rsrror. A useful review of lKl?spectrabyE.F. MO~N~YANI)P.H.~YINSON, and reviews on Heterostzdear Magnetic DozdZe Reso~tauce, N.M.R. of Po&lzers, and Methods of .SgnaZ to Noise Enhancements are included. This volume must be compared with Advaaces in Magnetic Xesonauce and Progress zk N.fi1.R. S~ectrosco$y with which considerable overlap must (and already cloes) occur. However, this volume presents reviews suitable for those more interested in the application of N.M.R. rather than a full rigorous treatment of the fundamentals. Eclitorial co-operation would minimise future overlap. The volume contains a very comprehensive index and is suitably free from trivial errors’ although the rate of nitrogen inversion in pyricline (inclexecl on p. 351) nialccsan amusing exception. w.

The coverage of this book, whilst primarily of interest to the analyst, extends over wider scientific fields within the ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgical industries. For example, the identification of phase conlpositions is usually considered within the province of the metallurgist rather than that of the analyst. The Ig sections, comprising on average 20 pages each, have all been contributed by wellknown specialists. Dissertations on problems of general interest predominate, and include such topics as statistics, sampling of molten metal, the determination of gases and trace constituents, polarography, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray analysis.
