New Books Electron Beam Microanalysis. Special technical publication # 5 0 6 . Donald R. Beaman and Jose A. Isasi. 80 pages. American Society for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race St., Phila delphia, PA 19103. 1972. Paperbound. $3.75 plus shipping charges ( 5 % domestic, 7 % foreign)
This book is a review of the many techniques available for microanalysis. It illustrates how the various techniques are related, when they can be most appropriately used, and when they can be successfully combined in a single instrument. It should aid the ma terials scientist in selecting the proper technique and instrument for his par ticular problem, guide the novice in his initial efforts in the field of micro analysis, and provide the expert with a critical review and state-of-the-art de scription of the field. Particular em phasis is placed on the quantitative capabilities of the various techniques, and the problems associated with ac curacy and precision in electron beam microanalysis are discussed. The fol lowing instruments and/or techniques are examined: electron probe ana lyzer, transmission electron analyzer, scanning electron microscope, Auger electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, ion mass analyzer, auto mated instruments, and quantitative metallography. Finally, applications in many disciplines are presented to il lustrate the vast potential of the tech niques.
Coblentz Society Evaluated Infrared Reference Spectra. Sadtler Research Laboratories, 3316 Spring Garden St., Philadelphia, PA 19104. 1972. $225 per volume
Volumes 7 and 8 of the "Reference Spectra" have been published under the auspices of the Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data. Each volume contains 1000 high-quality (Classes II and III) spectra. Class II spectra have been defined by the Co blentz Society as those spectra which conform to specified precision criteria and which have been obtained from pure compounds whose structures are verified and documented. Class I I I spectra are obtained from compounds of verified structures or are determined by competent evaluators to be con sistent with the normal chemical com position. Included are many organic compounds whose spectra have not been previously available in the litera ture. Volumes 7 and 8 as well as their predecessor, Volume 6, are issued in three loose-leaf binders each.

The National Science Foundation has engaged the Environmental Instrumen tation Group of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to conduct a survey of in strumentation for environmental moni toring. Consideration is given to in struments and techniques presently in use and to those developed for other purposes but having possible applica tions to this work. The results of the survey include descriptions of the phys ical and operating characteristics of available instruments, critical compari sons among instrumentation methods, recommendations for the development of new instruments, and promising methodology. The survey material is compiled in four loose-leaf volumes which will be periodically updated. The price of each volume includes the cost of additional sections that will be issued through June 30, 1973. Volumes 1 and 3 are now available, and Volumes 2 (WATER) and 4 (BIOMEDICINE) are expected to be issued in late 1972. Volume 1 (AIR) as initially issued covers sulfur dioxide monitoring. Addi tional sections on oxides of nitrogen, photochemical oxidants, mercury, lead, beryllium, and asbestos will be issued during the year. Volume 3 (RADIA TION) now covers ionizing radiation: accelerators, calibration methods, gamma radiation, X-radiation, and neu trons; as well as nonionizing radiation: microwaves, lasers, and ultraviolet. Additional sections on reactors, do simeters, radionuclides, and infrared radiation will be issued during the year. Polymer Networks: Structure and Me chanical Properties. A. J. Chompff and S.
