Since there is no branch of chemical analysis that cannot use atomic absorption speelwseopy, t,he authors have presented t,his subject in suoh a manner that the beginning analyst should find this tool as xeccpt;:i,le its the competent anslyst. The practical approach taken should especially be pleasing to laboratory iostruetors in methods coorses who have a minimum amount of time to introduce newer techniques to students. Because "Atomic Abso~ptionSpectroscopy" is a praet,iCd guide oriented toward applications, i t should pmvide all chemical analysts as well as students with a ready reference book. On a comparative basis this volwne should he as acceptable as "Atomic-Absorption Speetrophotornetry" by W. T. Elwell and J . A. F. Gidley, Pergamon Press.
