The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry cover

An Essential Reference Work from Elsevier Science

Discusses theoretical aspects of ion collisions, chemistry, and dynamics, and then introduces ab initio calculations of ions. This title is suitable for new graduate students who are interested but not yet versed in the subject of mass spectrometry.Theory and Ion Chemistry concentrates on the fundamental aspects of a set of 13 carefully chosen topics covering the whole field of mass spectrometry. It covers both primary (basic) considerations, as well as advanced topics, the former aimed at newcomers to the field, the latter at the experienced practitioner who may not necessarily be an expert in the particular area. Article references will cover three areas: 1) original or pioneering work in the area 2) seminal contributions to the area, including examples illustrating a given application and 3) useful review articles.

"A copy of Volume 1 of the Elsevier Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry arrived at my door this afternoon. I opened the package and began with a cursory review. I must say that I have not been this impressed by any book that I have viewed in mass spectrometry, current or of historical note, with perhaps the exception of the Budzikiewicz, Djerassi, Williams Holden-Day book of 1967. The collection of articles will be timeless. It will save countless hours of searching through many references to accumulate the knowledge that appears to be imparted. It appears that all the articles include titles with cited references and the production was done in a professional and consistent manner. The list of article authors is outstanding and it appears that from the standpoint of review articles that they are presenting some of their best work." — O. David Sparkman, an instructor for the American Chemical Society's courses in mass spectrometry and an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of the Pacific
