  Over more than two decades this book has established itself as the first choice for growing numbers of students and practising analysts who require a well-written and concise overview of the principles and practice of analytical chemistry. Recurring themes are improvement in medicine and the environment, the I.T. revolution and its continuing impacts on both analytical methodology and data handling. The successive editions of Principles and Practice of Analytical Chemistry have kept pace with the associated developments in the subject. Significant changes encompass strengthening of the coverage of data handling, together with new material covering rapidly developing subject areas of molecular spectrometry, atomic spectrometry, and separation techniques. Answers to the self- learning problems and exercises are also included. All sections of the book have been fully reviewed and updated as appropriate. The new edition of the book continues to provide a sound and broad base for the study of analytical chemistry by undergraduate and postgraduate students, and to be a useful resource for practising analysts, seeking a summary of the principles of techniques and methods.

  There have been significant advances in both analytical instrumentation and computerised data handling during the five years since the third edition was published in 1990. Windows-based computer software is now widely available for instrument control and real-time data processing and the use of laboratory information and management systems (LIMS) has become commonplace. Whilst most analytical techniques have undergone steady improvements in instrument design, high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE or CE) and two- dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (2D-NMR) have developed into major forces in separation science and structural analysis respectively. The powerful and versatile separation technique of CE promises to rival high-performance liquid chromatography, particularly in the separ- ation of low levels of substances of biological interest. The spectral inform- ation provided by various modes of 2D-NMR is enabling far more complex molecules to be studied than hitherto. The electrophoresis section of chapter 3 and the NMR section of chapter 9 have therefore been considerably expanded in the fourth edition along with a revision of aspects of atomic spectrometry (chapter 8). New material has been included on fluorescence spectrometry (chapter 9), the use of Kovats Retention Indices in gas chroma- tography (chapter 3) and solid phase extraction for sample cleanup and concentration (chapter 12). Additions to high performance liquid chroma- tography (chapter 3) reflect the growing importance of chiral stationary phases, solvent optimization and pH control, continuous regeneration car- tridges for ion chromatography and HPLC-MS.
