Reviews

"Mass Spectrometry: A Foundation Course" accomplishes its goal with very few shortcomings....A text that does an exceptional job of introducing MS in a clearly written and logical fashion with sufficient depth for its intended audience of either undergraduate or graduate students......Kevin Downard has produced an excellent book, well-suited to the diverse audience he envisions..... certainly will be recommending it to both undergraduates and graduates seeking an introduction to MS"
*Trends in Analytical Chemistry, February 2005 (Professor Charles Wilkins)*

I recommend this book highly to anyone looking for a first port of call on the journey to mass spectrometry
*Cancer Scienceboard Net, 20 December 2004 (Dr Oliver Bogler)*

A basis for instruction of undergraduate and new postgraduate students.
*Chemistry World, April 2005 (Professor Tony Mallet)*

A single text volume that is clear, uncluttered, concise and systematic.This book should find ready adoption in courses which focus on teaching of MS.
*Mass Spectrometry Reviews, (Professor Philip Marriott)*

Written in a highly readable and entertaining style.Overall this book is very useful and can be recommended as an introduction for students into the presently wide applicability of mass spectrometry to a variety of disciplines.
*Australian Journal of Chemistry, 2005 (Professor Nico Nibbering)*

This book should find ready adoption in courses which focus on teaching of MS, and it appears to be one of the better teaching texts in MS.
