Editorial Reviews

A multiauthored volume assessing the state of the art in the use of glow discharge devices in atomic spectroscopy. Most of the chapters begin with some historical perspective of the general area and then deal extensively with fundamental aspects relevant to the application at hand. Analytical characteristics and figures of merit are detailed, with some visions of future developments and applications concluding each chapter. Annotation c.
