Books
from Eric Mooney. Under its new editorship, the emphasis of the series is on the review of nuclei other than proton, rather than the general review of NMR. Volume 7 contains three review chapters, the first two of which update previous chapters by the same authors in Volume 5B. In Chapter 1, R. Fields devotes his fluorine-19 N M R review to fluoroalkyl and fluoroaryl derivatives of transition metals. M. Witanowsky and his coworkers cover in Chapter 2 all of the nitrogen NMR literature that appeared between 1972 and 1976. Chapter 3 on spin-spin coupling interactions between carbon and first row nuclei is contributed by Roderick E. Wasylishen.
Analysis of Drugs and Metabolites by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, Vol. 3. Benjamin J. Gudzinowicz and Michael J. Gudzinowicz. χ + 268 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 270 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1977. $29.75
The purpose of the series is to compile the various GC and GC/MS procedures from existing literature. In Volume 3 the literature is surveyed, in approximate chronological order, through 1975 for the analysis of antipsychotic, antiemetic, and antidepressant drugs and their metabolites. The book is intended for the analyst who is thoroughly familiar with the principles of GC and GC/MS; thus, the emphasis is on the specific application of these techniques. Some procedures are reviewed in sufficient detail to allow duplication without further reference. Chapter 1 covers procedures for drugs such as phenothiazine, butyrophen-one, and thioxanthene derivatives tha t are antipsychotic and antiemetic drugs. Chapter 2 covers procedures for antidepressant drugs, which include monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, and several related compounds. The book is a good quality photo-offset copy of typewritten text.
Residue Reviews, Vol. 66. Francis A. Gunther, Ed. vii + 212 pages. Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 175 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10010. 1977. $22.80
Of the five review articles concerned with residues of pesticides and PCB's, two are specifically devoted to analytical methods. A short chapter on advances in tin compound analysis provides a brief review of the chemistry of commonly used organotin compounds and a discussion on various analytical methodologies available for the deter
mination of total t in and organotin compounds. The other analytical chapter is on recent advances in PCB analysis. The extraction of PCB's from environmental samples and the eventual determination by gas chromatographic methods are the topics of this chapter.

Part 12 of 1977 Annual Book of ASTM Standards on Chemical Analysis of Metals, and Sampling and Analysis of Metal Bearing Ores. 874 pages. 1977. $28
Par t 12 contains all ASTM standard specifications, test methods, practices, and definitions pertaining to the chemical analysis of metals and ores as well as the sampling of metal bearing ores. Of the 81 standards, 20 have been designated as American National Standards.
Part 26 of 1977 Annual Book of ASTM Standards on Gaseous Fuels, Coal and Coke, and Atmospheric Analysis. 856 pages. 1977. $28
Among the new standards in Pa r t 26 are: test for chromium in workplace atmospheres, test for tin in workplace atmospheres, calculating calorific value and specific gravity of gaseous fuels, test for nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere by the Griess-Saltzman reaction, and test for relative humidity by wet- and dry-bulb psychrometer. Contents include: coal and coke; gaseous fuels; sampling and analysis of atmosphere; specifications, sampling and measurement, and methods of testing and analysis.
Manual on Hydrocarbon Analysis. Third Ed. 640 pages. Paperbound. 1977. $26
The third edition contains 37 ASTM standard test methods for determination of such physical parameters as specific gravity, melting/freezing points, viscosity, and refractivity. The analytical techniques used are solvency tests, correlative methods, liquid chromatographic and gas chromatographic methods, spectrometric methods, chemical methods, and other miscellaneous methods.
