Reviews

"Lubman's book is an excellent compilation of articles covering the diverse and exciting applications possible when lasers and mass spectrometry are combined. Unlike many books of this type, it conveys a sense of the development of the technique, its variations, and its shortcomings . . . . . The article authors are clearly well chosen from those active in the field. A useful and interesting book for those who are knowledgeable in the field and also those who
are interested in finding out about it." --Choice
"Lubman has produced a coherent collection of all of the aspects of lasers in mass spectrometry, and the book would be suitable as a textbook for an advanced class, given students with strong previous backgrounds in both optical spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. I can recommend Lasers and Mass Spectrometry for both individual and library purchase." --Applied Spectroscopy
"Each chapter constitutes a "stand-along" review of each research group's area of interest, including background on optical and mass spectrometric techniques . . . . the chapters are well referenced and an extensive index is included . . . . the book is a good reference source for those working with lasers and MS and for those interested in the advances in chemical analysis afforded by the coupling of these techniques." --Analytical Chemistry
"Very good contributions from all the authors."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
"A useful, practical, and interesting book, at a very good and affordable price." --Microchemical Journal
"Extremely well written and edited. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently working in the field....or any professor thinking of teaching a graduate level course in this area....A fantastic book." --Microchemical Journal
