book reviews Inaccuracies or misconceptions occur as, for example, the meaning of "dead volume" on page 90. One does not need to work a t optimum velocity in HPLC since one can trade column length for time and use higher pressures. Volts per centimeter determine the division between hieh and low " voltage electrophoresis (p. 172). In summary, the authors have not prepared an up-to-date boak on chromatagraphic methods. I t is not likely that the book will find acceptance in American undergraduate chemistry programs. Several advanced general analytical textbooks handle the subject matter better. Perhaps the stroneest section of the hook is the final chapter ion inodrl e x p r r i ~ n ~ n tIn;tru
