Reviews

It is difficult to imagine any self-respecting technical or scientific library being without a copy. (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, March 2005) This masterwork is indispensable for all those in the different aspects of the occurrence of trace elements in the environment... (International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol.84, No.14-15, 10-20 December 2004) This reference work is recommended for academic and special libraries. (E-STREAMS, November 2004)
