Summary: The best Analytical Chemistry Textbook!
Review: I don't particularly enjoy chemistry; but at least the author attempts to throw some random humor throughout the text. The material covered by the book is horrifically boring; (I think) but the occasional jokes make the reading marginally more bearable. It's one of the better Chemistry textbooks I've read due to the less serious tone of the author.

Summary: A very good book.
Review: I found it very useful for my analytical chemistry class this semester and I know I will need it for the future.

Summary: Among Analytical Chemistry books this one is very good
Review: I respect all reviews, but in my opinion, is very important the teacher in order one student can feel comfortable in a class, for this reason I think some customer reviews of this book (before 17-august-2000) are biased. In my opinion this book is very good, one of the best among several analytical chem. books, even though its CD could be improved a lot. However, if anybody wants to learn about Analytical chemistry in general, this book is an excellent reference.

Summary: **THE** Analytical Book!
Review: Jeez, I can't believe some people don't like this text! It's always been one of my faves, and ditto for my colleagues! In all the years I was in school, I never ran across a text that was written with such a friendly tone, and simultaneously discussed difficult concepts so clearly. Harris' discussions of acid/base and complexometric chemistry is particularly nice, and he even goes out of his way to discuss the preparation of around 30 a/b indicator solutions. Not something you'd find in every text! The problems given at the end of each chapter were great and usually very fun to do (as opposed to Pchem problems, which always made me want to shoot myself). The new edition (1998) was a nice expansion of the previous ones, and I can't recommend it highly enough. BRAVO, Daniel!

Summary: Excellent analytical chemistry book
Review: 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.
