Donald M. West (deceased) was a Professor of Chemistry at San Jose State University. Douglas A. Skoog (deceased) earned a B.S. in chemistry from Oregon State University and received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Illinois. The lead author of several best-selling texts, Dr. Skoog was the 1999 recipient of the American Chemical Society award in analytical chemistry, sponsored by the Fisher Scientific Company. That same year, he was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1993, he received the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Excellence in Teaching. He was a Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University. F. James Holler is a Professor of Chemistry and recipient of the Alumni Association Great Teacher Award at the University of Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University. In addition to his role as co-author of several best-selling texts, he is co-creator of the world-famous Periodic Table of Comic Books. Stanley R. Crouch is Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University. He received his undergraduate and M.S. degrees from Stanford University and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Illinois. He is the recipient of the 2001 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation and the 1996 ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Excellence in Teaching.
"The authors' do a good job of making this text both readable and
engaging. I would like to think a student could sit down with a
piece of paper, a calculator and pencil and work through most of
these chapters in 1-2 hours with good comprehension. I enjoy the
level of activity this book uses in terms of engaging you with
interesting problems or real world examples."
"The chapters dealing with titrimetry are fairly straightforward
and, in the opinion of this reviewer, one of the strengths of the
text. Specifically, the majority of the problems are well-explained
to the student and the problems in the back of the text are
helpful, especially with the increasing difficulty of the problems
as one proceeds through their completion."
