Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a book that well passes the examination. Both the undergraduate and the graduate student will find useful and reliable information. Even more, it is an excellent reference for the teacher and the laboratory guy. It shows hard work and concern, and the authors deserve a friendly hand for it.
