Books of Organic Chemistry Series and its companion, Techniques of Inorganic Chemistry, embraces techniques applicable to all branches of chemistry. This volume, written by 11 authors, concentrates on interpretation of solutions and solubilities on a molecular level. The areas specifically excluded from the discussion of this wide-ranging subject are electrochemistry, photochemistry in solution, the electron in solution, and molten salts. Each of the eight chapters contains extensive theoretical background material on its subject, as well as a review of the most recent experimental procedures. Chelates in Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 5.

This fifth volume of the series on the application of chelation and chelating agents to analytical chemistry presents some chelating agents of analytical importance not discussed previously. Specifically, the two chapters of equal length cover EDTA and other aminopolycarboxylic acids as chromo-
genic agents and aromatic ortho-dihydroxy compounds as reagents for inorganic analysis. The first chapter is written by Francisco Bermejo-Martinez of Spain, and the latter by B. W. Budesinsky and Keith E. Curtis. It is a good quality photo-offset copy of typewritten text.
dynamic headspace sampling of volatile hydrocarbon components of the sample followed by coupled-column liquid chromatography for nonvolatile components. Volatile components are separated from the matrix on a closed system and concentrated on a TENAX-GC packed precolumn for GC/GC-MS analysis.

This book reviews developments in the state-of-the-art, which have taken place since 1967, for those who must devise or adapt different methods for the solution of sensory-objective problems. It includes a chapter on a typical case study, as well as chapters on various aspects of sensory or objective analyses themselves and especially on the means of deriving useful correlations between the two types of measurements.

Presented in this publication are four surface analysis techniques that have been shown to be applicable to many types of metallurgical problems that are dependent upon surface composition. The techniques dealt with are: (1) ion scattering spectroscopy, (2) Auger electron spectroscopy, (3) electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (also known as x-ray-induced electron spectroscopy), and (4) ion microprobe mass analysis/secondary ion mass spectroscopy.
