Traceability in Chemical Measurement

From the reviews: "They present a broad coverage of analytical endeavour and scope and allows the reader the advantage of compilation. ... overall this is a useful compilation and would serve as a good introduction to and an overview of the field for practicing analytical chemists and scientists particularly from certified laboratories ... ." (C. Burgess, Chromatographia, Vol. 62 (3-4), 2005)
