"Covering a wide range of specific literature, this work is a
helpful asset for scientists, teachers and postgraduate students
working in soil science, environmental chemistry or ecological
sciences. It provides a valuable support in the selection of
effective analytical techniques and equipment, for the study of
different environmental samples, with an emphasis on soil
analysis."

- "[This book] is an updated look at instrumental techniques. … The
collection of chapters is well written by experts in their
respective fields … . … Highly recommended for professionals or
students working with or wanting to work with these or other
relevant analyses."
"…forms an invaluable asset for both the users and producers of
chemical analysis on soils….it will surely remain a benchmark work
on soil analysis."
Analyst
"…an extremely valuable and informative work….The depth of coverage
is amazing…this will be the standard work on the subject for many
years to come."
