About this book

The knowledge base of chromatography continued to expand throughout the 1990s owing to its many applications to problems of contemporary interest in industry, life and environmental sciences. Organizing this information into a single text for a diverse group of scientists has become increasingly difficult. The present book stemmed from the desire to revise Chromatography Today, written by the same author with Salwa K. Poole, and published in 1991. This title is considered to be one of the definitive texts on chromatography. It was soon realized however, that a simple revision would not provide the desired result of a contemporary picture of the practice of chromatography at the turn of the century. The only workable solution was to start afresh, maintaining the same general philosophy and concept for Chromatography Today where possible, while creating essentially a new book. The format of the new book is modular, with extensive cross-references to permit rapid location of related material using different separation concepts. Important features are extensive tabulation of essential data for performing separations and an extensive bibliography to the most recent literature. This title is intended as a suitable text for graduate level courses in the separation sciences and as a self-study guide for professional chromatographers wishing to refresh their background in this rapidly expanding field. The Essence of Chromatography presents a comprehensive survey of modern chromatography and is an effective replacement for Chromatography Today.

Contents

Biography

Prof. Poole was born and educated in the United Kingdom receiving a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Leeds (1971) followed by graduate studies at the University of Bristol, MSc. in analytical chemistry (1972), and Ph.D. with Prof. E. D. Morgan at the University of Keele (1975) on the analysis of insect molting hormones. Since 1980 he has been at the Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA, except for 1995-1996, spent as the Governors Lecturer and Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine, London, in the United Kingdom. Prof. Poole is a polychromatographer with broad interests in the separation and detection of small molecules in biological, environmental, and food samples; sample preparation technology; and computer-aided data analysis techniques. He is the author of over 325 research papers, an editor of the Journal of Chromatography, and a member of the editorial boards of 5 other analytical chemistry journals. In 1985 he received the Tswett Medal of the International Symposium Advances in Chromatography, in 1991 the Jubilee Medal of the Chromatographic Society, and in 1997 a D.Sc. from the University of Leeds (UK).

Media reviews

Reviewed in Journal of the American Chemical Society 2003, 125, 10144-10146 by David J. Butcher, Western Carolina University, USA "I am happy to report that this volume is even better than the original... In general. the book is an excellent source of information on all aspects of chromatography... It is not simply a revision of Chromatography Today; most chapters have been completely rewritten, and several new topics have been introduced... In summary, I highly recommend this volume." Reviewed in LC-GC Europe, Vol 16, No.5, May 2003 by Geoff Potter, University of the West of England, Bristol, U.K. "The book is a "must" for all libraries. A reference work that will remain authoritative for many years." Reviewed in CHOICE, September, 2003 by H. T. McKone "Highly Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." Reviewed in CHEMISTRY IN AUSTRALIA, May, 2003 by Philip Marriott FRACI, Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia "Quite simply, Colin Poole has again produced a text that is authoritative, comprehensive, informative, and an excellent source as a one-stop reference to the field of separation science." Reviewed in CHROMATOGRAPHIA, Vol. 57, 2003 by P. Myers "Overall this is a well-planned book, very well written and one that should become the prime standard for anyone entering chromatography or simply wanting to understand a little more about a different area of the subject." Reviewed in TrAC, by F. Svec, University of California, Berkeley, USA "Colin Poole deserves to be cheered for his excellent work. The Essence of Chromatography contains all the important information that chromatographers - both novices and professionals alike - may need for rapid orientation as well as for an in-depth understanding of the discipline. Therefore, this book ought to be available in all libraries that serve universities and companies that teach, develop, or practice chromatography. I would even recommend that those who are active in the field of chromatography have their own copy on their bookshelves. I am sure that this book is one which will remain in use for a long period of time."
