Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry. Techniques and Applications of Tandem Mass Spectrometry. By K. L. Busch, G. L. Glish & S. A. McLuckey. VCH Publishers Inc., 1988. Pp. 333, ISBN 0 89573 275 0. Price: £51.00. This is a useful introduction for beginners and, for those who already have some experience, a guide to other applications. It starts at the beginning, with an account of why the first instruments were developed with two magnets in series. The authors then discuss types of instrument, reactions that occur, applications of the technique and, in about the last third of the book, examples of specific analytical applications, which include pollutants. industrial products such as surfactants, and petroleum products.
Pesticide Chemistry. By G. Matolcsy, M. Nadasy & V. Andriska. Elsevier Science Publishers BV, 1988. Pp. 808, ISBN 0 444 989 30 X. Price: US$260.50, Dfl. 495.00. Pesticides are considered, usually one at a time, with a strong emphasis on an historical approach. There are rather few references less than 10-15 years old. Topics covered include chemical structure, synthesis, physicochemical properties, uses, mode of action, metabolism, toxicity and environmental effects. A comprehensive range of compounds is covered.
