ATOMIC ABSORPTION AND FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY by G. F. K I R K B R I G H T and M. SARGENT This c o m p r e h e n s i v e t r e a t m e n t of t h e " s t a t e - o f - t h e - a r t " of atomic absorption a n d fluorescence spectrometry a p p l i e d to trace m e t a l analysis will fulfill a need which has existed for s o m e years. The work provides a reference t e x t which covers t h e principles and applications of the discipline: sufficient f u n d a m e n t a l theory is given to avoid as m i s l e a d i n g and overs i m p l i f i e d approach b u t the b o o k ' s e m p h a s i s falls on practice a n d t e c h n i q u e s . This e m p h a s i s is reinforced by t h e detailed coverage given to t h e individual c o m p o n e n t s of a t o m i c fluorescence a n d a b s o r p t i o n s p e c t r o m e t e r s (sources, a t o m cells, dispersive devices, etc.).

FUNCTIONAL GROUP DETERMINATION OF OLEFINIC AND ACETYLENIC UNSATURATION by K. MULLER t r a n s l a t e d f r o m t h e German by M. R. F. ASHWORTH (Number 6 in The Analysis of Organic Materials-An International Series of Monographs) T h i s book is based on the late Dr. Muller's long experience in t h e analysis of u n s a t u r a t e d c o m p o u n d s (olefins and acetylenes) at the organo-analytical laboratory of a large industrial c h e m i c a l c o n c e r n . T h e e m p h a s i s t h r o u g h o u t is on the numerous and versatile c h e m i c a l t e c h n i q u e s of analysis, which are directly applicable to w i d e areas of organic c h e m i s t r y . T h e s e have been treated in a c o m p r e h e n s i v e a n d critical way, and are s u p p l e m e n t e d by polarographic m e t h o d s of d e t e r m i n a t i o n and also by paper and thin-layer c h r o m a t o g r a p h i c m e t h o d s of d e t e c t i o n . Full e x p e r i m e n t a l details are given for the particular m e t h o d s r e c o m m e n d e d by the author, o b v i a t i n g the need to c o n s u l t original literature. 1975, 344 pp., $24.25/£9.20

Engineer-
What is color? How is it used, evaluated, and measured? How important is color to you in your industry? What new instruments measure color with speed and precision? Eleven papers focus upon these and other questions in this valuable book. This report covers a broad range of topics which will appeal to the uninitiated, and be indispensable to the technologist in industry. This volume summarizes our present knowledge of color formulation and evaluation and its application to industrial processing today. Topics include the basic concepts of color, instrumentation, color difference metrics, and color as an aspect of appearance. Other topics include the three-dimensional nature of color, the CIE and Munsell systems, the Kubelka-Munk law, metamerism, uniform color space, hues and pigments as engineering materials, turbid media theories, and calculation techniques. Color problems unique to the textile, vinyl fabric, plastic, paint, paper, and printing ink industries are explored. An important reference for the industrial technologist, professional chemist, instructor, student and newcomer to the field. 177 pages with index 3 2 color photographs Cloth $11.50 Postpaid in U.S. and Canada; plus 4 0 cents elsewhere. Set of L.C. cards w i t h library orders upon request.
