This edition has two new coauthors, Purnendu (Sandy) Dasgupta and Kevin Schug, both from the University of Texas at Arlington. So the authorship now spans three generations of analytical chemists who have each brought their considerable expertise in both teaching and research interests to this book. While all chapters have ultimately been revised and updated by all authors, the three authors have spearheaded different tasks. Among the most notable changes are the following: The addition of a dedicated chapteronmassspectrometry(Chapter22)byKevin.Sandyprovidedcompleterewrites of the chapters on spectrochemical methods (Chapter 16) and atomic spectrometric methods (Chapter 17), and gas and liquid chromatography (Chapters 20 and 21), and added many new Excel problems and exercises. Gary compiled and organized all old and new supplementary materials for the textbook companion website and added QR codes for selected website materials, and he prepared the PowerPoint presentations of figures and tables.
