James Barker and David J. Ando are the authors of Mass Spectrometry: Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley.

"...the book is written in a very clear form and is highly recommended not only for students on chemical instrumentation but also to scientists wishing to become acquainted on the technique and to teachers that will find several stimulating suggestions and examples." (Annali di Chimica, 1999)"It is a valuable text reference for analytical chemists." (Bioseparation, 1999)
