Summary

The only comprehensive textbook providing detailed coverage of the whole field -- both for learning as well as serving as a life-long reference -- combines the contents of general and introductory courses, instrumental analysis and advanced analytical chemistry in one handy volume.
The third edition of the best-selling classic is brought up to date to include the latest developments, with two completely new chapters on the hot topics of analytical nanoscience and nanotechnology, and on green analytical chemistry. In addition, around one third of the chapters are completely rewritten with the author team including nine new authors who are active in teaching and share their expertise on the current state of the art.
Includes questions at the end of each chapter to improve the learning experience.

Author Biography

Matthias Otto is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany. He was born in Dresden (Germany) and did all his studies at the University of Leipzig. In 1984 he moved to Freiberg (Germany) as a reader and was appointed full Professor there in 1987. Since that time he has taught almost all aspects of Analytical Chemistry mainly within the curricula of chemistry, applied sciences and geoecology and organizes courses in basic and advanced chemometrics.

Miguel Valcárcel is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Córdoba (Spain) since 1976, member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences and past chairman of the Analytical Division of the Federation of European Chemical Societies (DAC-FECS) and Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Valencia (Spain). He is author or co-author of 800 research papers and ten monographs in the frame of automation, simplification and quality of (bio)chemical measurement processes as well us analytical nanoscience and nanotecnology.
