Chromatography and separation chemistry: advances and developments (ACS symposium series, no. 297)

more so than in the determination of pesticides and herbicides and their metabolites. This book sets out to demonstrate how these developments (chemical ionization, fast atom bombardment, selected ion monitoring, tandem mass spectrometry, combination with HPLC, etc.) have been useful in this area. After the introduction, it contains sixteen chapters, by a wide range of (mostly) U.S. scientists, giving detailed and often personal accounts of particular topics, based on techniques or applications to certain compounds. Mass spectra and fragmentation patterns abound! The material is referenced up to 1985, and experimental detail is usually included. Nowhere is the power of modem analytical chemistry more clearly demonstrated than in applications of this type, and, as such, the book is highly recommended.
Satinder Ahuja (Ed.), Chromatography and Separation Chemistry: Advances and Developments (ACS Symposium Series, No. 297). American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 1986 (ISBN O-8412-0953-7). viii + 304 pp. Price $54.95 (U.S.A. and Canada), $65.95 (elsewhere). This collection of 15 articles developed from a symposium at the ACS meeting in Philadelphia in August 1984. Most of the articles, produced in camera-ready copy, deal with a variety of aspects of HPLC (enantiomer separation, new detectors, optical detector noise, column packings, laser fluorimetry detection, retention calculation and prediction, cyclodextrins). The first chapter, however, by Laub proposes a unified theory of sorption for gas, liquid and ion-exchange chromatography, and the last two describe gel electrophoresis of proteins and supercritical fluid chromatography and its combination with mass spectrometry. Interestingly the new detectors are also considered in connection with flow injection analysis. The book is useful in that it provides timely descriptions of areas of analytical science that are developing rapidly, and is therefore essential reading for all chromatographers.

Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1986 (ISBN O-444-42698-1). ix + 502 pp. Price US$ 112.00 (Dfl. 280.00). This monograph contains the proceedings of a workshop held at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, Burlington, Ontario on 7-10 October 1985. The aim of the workshop was to bring together scientists and statisticians working in various areas of water management, e.g., limnology, water quality regulation and control, monitoring network design, and modelling of aquatic environments. There are 37 contributions produced in cameraready form, most of which are concerned with the statistical evaluation of chemical information derived from various water systems in North America.
