Heard has produced a first-class book, which is without rival
and which will be widely read by the atmospheric chemistry research
community.

[The Editor] is...exceptionally well qualified to edit a
reference text on analytical methods for chemicals in the
atmosphere, and this promise is fully realised in this excellent
book. [It] provide[s] superbly detailed and authoritative accounts
of the methods and their applications to atmospheric
analysis...the book is an excellent reference for researchers
in atmospheric chemistry.
