Your first question might be..."Is this book worth $150-200?" and my answer is absolutely NOT! Overall, this book contains some good information but it is an overview of the different techniques of ICP. I would say that the book was designed specifically for an introductory graduate course. If you are seeking more than basic information on a specific technique of ICP your $200 would be better spent elsewhere. If you are looking for a foundation of ICP techniques in ICP-AES, ICP-MS, sample preparation and applications then this may be a book for you. It does contain useful ICP principles of operation and types of sample introduction, tables (i.e. polyatomic & isobaric interferences for ICP-MS) and mathematical basics.
