Understanding Mass Spectra: A Basic Approach, Second Editioncombines coverage of the principles underlying mass spectralanalysis with clear guidelines on how to apply them in a laboratorysetting. Completely revised from the first edition, an updated andunified approach to mass spectral interpretation emphasizes theapplication of basic principles from undergraduate organic,analytical, and physical chemistry courses.
A detailed overview of theory and instrumentation, this usefulguide contains step-by-step descriptions of interpretativestrategies and convenient lists and tables detailing theinformation needed to solve unknowns. Other features includereal-world case studies and examples, skill-building problems withclearly explained answers, and easy-to-follow explanations of theimportant mathematical derivations.

"...the author manages to go well beyond the obvious and expectedexplanations...[to provide] a set of guidelines to follow forsuccessful spectral interpretation." (Journal of ChemicalEducation, May 2005)
"Smith does an excellent job of taking readers through a myriadof basic concepts and tying them all together to develop usefulskills for spectral interpretation." (CHOICE, February2005)
"This book would do well to serve as a basis for an upper levelundergraduate or graduate course..." (Journal of NaturalProducts, February 2005)
