Quick Shipping.

Quantitative Chemical Analysis Student Solutions Manual The Solutions manual is very helpful in explaining the problems that I could not understand.

Great Purchase!

The book is a huge asset to this class! I would strongly recommend anyone taking Analytical Chemistry to buy the solutions manual also!

Good book bad shipping

The book was in great condition and it was really good condition. I paid for two day shipping. I ordered it on Wednesday and should have gotten it on Friday but I didn't get it until Monday or Tuesday afternoon. I watched the order tracker and it was in the warehouse ready to be shipped to me on Wednesday but it didn't ship till Thursday so I didn't get it till Monday or Tuesday.

Excellent analytical chemistry book

One of the best written textbooks in any area of chemistry. Here is a measure of the quality of this book. When I was graduate school, most of our research group owned a copy of Harris and we kept it on our shelves for handy reference. We had all purchased it as undergraduates but kept it because we LIKED it and found it so darn useful. It is an excellent general reference for anybody whose work involves chemical analysis. The tables of acid dissociation constants and redox half-potentials are some of the most extensive you will find any textbook.When I first started teaching, I used Skoog & West on the basis of my predecessor's recommendation. However, during my first semester, I found myself constantly referring to Harris because of its clear explainations and good examples. In the second semester, I conducted a head-to-head competition with students reading a chapter on the same material from both Harris and from Skoog. The overwhelming student preference was for Harris and I have used it in my classes ever since. Readers who don't like Harris aren't going to be happy with any analytical chemistry textbook.

The new analytical standard.

This book has become the new standard for both quantatitive and instrumental analysis courses. Goodby, Skoog!The textbook (in different editions) has been used for our Quantatitive Analysis course for several years, with excellent results.I am currently adopting it for my Instrumental Methods of Analysis course. Although I will need to suppliment some material (FTNMR is not covered, for example), the main important instrumental techniques ARE covered very well - straight and to the point! As for the prior poor reviews, well the problem seems to me to be in the student, not the textbook!
