Description

The book consists of six chapters. The book covers methods of sampling, field examination, qualitative tests prior to analysis and sample preparation. This book is also presents chemical and modern instrumental methods: emission spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, gas and liquid chromatography, etc. Although other books on soil analysis or on specific methods of physicochemical analysis have been published, none has such a comprehensive approach; none treats the subject in such depth. This book have presented their material in a logical and lucid manner that will prove invaluable not only to the chemist faced with problems of soil analysis, but also to analysts who should generally be initiated into modem methods of analytical chemistry. Overall, the book is impressive and will prove very useful not only to the chemist responsible for analysis, but also the scientist and the researcher requiring such data. We wish this book the greatest success.
