Reviews

About the first edition:
`...readable basic textbook covering material rarely seen in general analytical text, at a level where the reader may gain an adequate overview of the information to be obtained from the various methods... This book is a valuable starting point for those wishing to explore the field.'
Peter C. Uden, University of Massachusetts in Journal of the American Chemical Society (1990)
`Brown's work is a convenient and easy-to-read first book for those intending to use thermal analysis methods; it is a practical help in getting started.'
Gyorgy Pokol in Journal of Thermal Analysis (1990)
`it is a valuable book and should be in the hand of everyone who needs a quick, first overview of the field.'
Bernhard Wunderlich, University of Tennessee in Journal of Thermal Analysis (1989)
`...I have found the book suitable for adoption for the course that U teach to undergraduates. I have recommended the book for adoption as a prescribed textbook for the course...'
S.D. Sithole, Senior Lecturer, Chemistry Dept., University of Zimbabwe
