5.0 out of 5 stars
Right on the money,
This review is from: Analytical Chemistry (Hardcover)
I've been teaching Analytical Chemistry for 8 years now and most of that time I used Skoogs text. The problem with Skoogs text is that it spends far too much time on titration calculations and does not give enough emphasis to modern analytical practices. My first exposure to Dr. Christian's writings occurred in my undergraduate Instrumental Analysis course 21 years ago. I'm glad to see he is still writing textbooks. I recently switched my course's textbook to Dr. Christian's Analytical Chemistry 6th ed. It is well organized, easy to read and quite modern in its coverage. Additionally, it has a far superior set of end of chapter problems than most analytical textbooks I've reviewed and the appendix has a set of laboratory exercises that dovetail nicely with the chapter content. I highly recommend this textbook.

A comprehensive book,
By Ewelin (Porto Alegr, RS, Brasil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Analytical Chemistry, 5th Edition (Hardcover)
This book is comprehensive and comprehensible. Since I was doing my undergraduate studies I enjoyed Christian's Analytical Chemistry, it's a learning book with both: essential information and enough detail. Now, in the 5th edition, it has some new techniques and basic references for almost all the analytical methods in chemistry, and continues providing an overview of the techniques and equipment involved in analytical chemistry. Its explanations are useful and concise, mainly to be used as a text book for an analytical chemistry course.

The bad, and the not so good,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Analytical Chemistry (Hardcover)
I am a biochemistry student; Analytical Chemistry by Christian is a required text for the lecture portion of my techniques in chemistry. I wouldn't be that harsh on this book if not for the fact that the lab portion of the class requires Quantitative Chemical Analysis by Harris. When comparing the two texts the Harris book is more detailed, through and clear. Now, the Christian text is okay, it does teach you the necessary procedures of problem solving. I find those procedures somewhat elementary. The practice problems have no depth to them. It's an Okay buy, I would rather spend my money on the Harris book though.
