JOHN CROSS has taught Analytical and Physical Chemistry at the University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia since 1969. Additionally, he is a member of the Chemical Hazards Emergency Management Unit of the Queensland State Government. The editor of Nonionic Surfactants: Chemical Analysis and the coeditor of Cationic Surfactants: Analytical and Biological Evaluation (both titles, Marcel Dekker, Inc.), Dr. Cross is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and a member of the Australian Association of Science Communicators. He gained his technical qualifications (Higher National Certificate and Graduateship of the Royal Institute of Chemistry) from Kingston University (formerly, Kingston Polytechnic), Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. He received the M.Sc. (1965) and the Ph.D. (1967) degrees for his work on the mechanisms of gas-phase reactions from the University of New EnglandasArmidale, Australia.

"Praise for the first edition . . .an invaluable reference for readers with a general chemistry background who are familiar with basic concepts of classical and modern methods of analysis. Workers in the detergent industry and related fields. . .will find this volume essential reading, as will those involved in environmental protection. "---Current Engineering Practice". . .provides a concise, comprehensive account of methods for the detection, isolation, identification and estimation of anionic surface-active agents. . .Dr. Cross has succeeded in providing authoritative coverage of an important field. "---Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists"An excellent book!. . . This book will be a standard text for anionic surfactants for the years ahead and is a 'must' for laboratories operating in this field. "---Chemistry in Australia". . .provides a comprehensive survey of the methods and techniques of analysis of anionic surfactants. "---Chemical Age of India Praise for the second edition"The chapters on NMR and MS are very well written and cover the basic principles of these excellent detection methods for surfactants. The new techniques in both of these detection methods are well explained and examples are provided showing both the advantages and disadvantages of these powerful techniques. "---Chromatographia
