the most important subjects taught at universities—and the subjects most needed in the course of their practices (8). However, we believe that analytical chemistry enjoys a similar status in Europe. According to a survey done in West Germany and Austria, 20% of chemists claimed that they dealt predominantly with analytical questions in their daily work. We believe that analytical chemistry is one of the most, if not the most, important subjects taught worldwide.

Plenum Books Ernô Pungor (left) received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Pàzmhny Péter University (Budapest, Hungary) in 1949. Since 1970 he has been professor and head of the Institute for General and Analytical Chemistry of the Technical University of Budapest. In 1976 he became a full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and he is a member of the advisory or editorial boards of 10 international analytical journals. He has received medals and awards for his achievements in analytical chemistry and has authored or coauthored more than 500 scientific articles. Robert Kellner is a professor of analytical chemistry at the Technical University, Vienna, Austria. He received his Ph.D. from the university in 1971. His research interests include extreme applications of FT-IR spectroscopy to micro-, surface, and trace analysis. In addition, he has published more than 80 papers on solid-liquid interface phenomena, microcontaminations, metal chelates, and flavor analysis.
