C. Burgess and K.D. Mielenz (Eds. ), Advances in Standards and Methodology in Spectrophotometry (Elsevier Analytical Spectroscopy Library, Vol. 2), Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1987 (ISBN 0-444-42880-l ). xi+ 403 pp. Price Dfl. 195.00/ US$95.00. This book contains the proceedings of an international conference organised jointly by the UV Spectrometry Group of the United Kingdom and the National Bureau of Standards of the U.S.A., which was held at Oxford in September 1986. It contains 22 full papers and 10 poster abstracts, in camera-ready form, covering basic concepts, high accuracy spectrophotometry, standards and calibration, lasers and detector arrays and Fourier transform techniques. The papers are generally well written and well presented and the book has a reasonable index. In particular, the section on standards and calibration contains some useful practical information on an aspect of spectrophotometry that is often ignored. There is also a rigorous evaluation of the analytical performance of a diode array spectrophotometer. Because of the standing of the contributors and the relatively narrow subject area, this is an above-average compilation of conference presentations.

Barge (Eds.), Good Laboratory Practice, An Agrochemical Perspective (ACS Symposium Series 369), American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 1988 (ISBN o-8412-1480-8). vii+165 pp. Price $39.95 (U.S. and Canada), $47.95 (elsewhere). Good laboratory practice (GLP) is being adopted in an increasing number of laboratories. This collection of articles, developed from a symposium at the ACS meeting in New Orleans, September 1987, shows that it has spread to the agrochemical community. It comprises 19 short articles by authors from a variety of backgrounds: industry, research institutes, enforcement agencies and universities (yes, GLP has arrived in universities!), and covers the subject from their perspectives, as well as more detailed discussions and GLP procedures themselves. This volume will provide a useful introduction to newcomers to GLP, and a timely aide-mdmoire to those already involved.

The first (30 pp. ), by Hellmiss, covers thermal analysis applications (mainly to paints), fibres and investigation of spontaneous ignition. The second, by Mathyer, is an extremely brief
