Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Gas Chromatography (GC) is undoubtedly the most widely used technique for the separation and analysis of volatile compounds. Yet comprehensive guides to contemporary GC theory and practice are surprisingly hard to find.
Basic Gas Chromatography fills this significant void in the GC literature. Written by two well-known practitioners and educators in GC, it offers thorough coverage of the basic principles and techniques of modern gas chromatography.
Designed to serve as a primer/working reference for bench chemists and as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, it presents the fundamentals in a straightforward and logical fashion. Theoretical issues are explained without complicated equations and derivations and always in terms of how they relate to practical operating principles. Timely, comprehensive, and accessible, Basic Gas Chromatography:
* Provides a balanced presentation of theory and practice
* Includes both capillary column and packed column chromatography
* Uses the new IUPAC terms throughout, cross-referenced to traditional terms and symbols
* Offers a wealth of helpful hints, step-by-step guidelines, and trouble-shooting tips
* Briefly covers GC-MS, headspace analysis, chiral analysis, solid phase microextraction, and other cutting-edge topics.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review

Although gas chromatography (GC) is a very mature field, the GC technique is continuously undergoing improvements and being applied to new fields of study. In this second edition (1st ed., CH, May'98, 35-5084), McNair (emer., Virginia Tech) and Miller (emer., Drew Univ.) cover this new information along with updates on the basic concepts of the technology. The chapters in the book are easy to follow, well organized, and well referenced. Chapters 1-7 discuss theory, GC terminology, basic instrumentation, columns, column materials, and detectors used in GC technique. Chapters 8-9 focus on GC analysis and temperature programming. Chapters 10-13 discuss special topics including applications in mass spectrometry, sampling, and multidimensional analysis. The appendixes and troubleshooting guides included at the end of the chapters are very helpful. This book will be useful to students, researchers, and industrial scientists. It can serve as supplementary reading for an undergraduate or graduate course in chromatography/separation science or as a textbook for a gas chromatography. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. S. Deo Indiana University Purdue University--Indianapolis
