The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy: Theory, Applications, and Reference Materials
(In 5 Volumes)Volume 1: Ultraviolet SpectroscopyVolume 2: Visible SpectroscopyVolume 3: Near Infrared SpectroscopyVolume 4: Infrared SpectroscopyVolume 5: Raman Spectroscopy
The concept of improving the use of electromagnetic energy to achieve a variety of qualitative and quantitative spectroscopic measurements on solid and liquid materials has been proliferating at a rapid rate. The use of such technologies to measure chemical composition, appearance, for classification, and to achieve detailed understanding of material interactions has prompted a dramatic expansion in the use and development of spectroscopic techniques over a variety of academic and commercial fields.
The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy is integrated into 5 volumes, each covering the theory, instrumentation, sampling methods, experimental design, and data analysis techniques, as well as essential reference tables, figures, and spectra for each spectroscopic region. The detailed practical aspects of applying spectroscopic tools for many of the most exciting and current applications are covered. Featured applications include: medical, biomedical, optical, physics, common commercial analysis methods, spectroscopic quantitative and qualitative techniques, and advanced methods.
This multi-volume handbook is designed specifically as a reference tool for students, commercial development and quality scientists, and researchers or technologists in a variety of measurement endeavours.
Number of Illustrations and Tables: 393 b/w illus., 304 colour illus, 413 tables.

Emeritus Professor Heinz W Siesler University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Jerome (Jerry) J. Workman, Jr. is Executive Vice President of Research & Engineering for Unity Scientific; Certified Core Adjunct Professor at National University, CA; and Principal at Biotechnology Business Associates. He was formerly Vice President of Technology Research for Masimo Corporation; Director of Research, Technology & Applications Development for Molecular Spectroscopy & Microanalysis for ThermoFisher Scientific; Senior Research Fellow at Kimberly-Clark Analytical Science & Technology; and Principal Scientist at Perkin-Elmer.
Dr Workman has played a major role in defining and developing over twenty scientific instrument advancements and applications of novel vibrational spectroscopy technology for laboratory, process and remote monitoring of commercial synthetic and natural products and processes; and medical applications of spectroscopy. Over 55 US and International Patent Applications (since 1998); 17 US and International Patents issued, and multiple trade secrets. He has a total of 475 Technical Publications; and 18 reference books on a broad range of spectroscopy, chemometrics, and data processing techniques. He has received awards from the Eastern Analytical Symposium, ASTM International, and the Coblentz Society, as well as multiple fellowships, technical, and government appointments. He has taught annual courses in spectroscopy, chemometrics, and statistics for the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, the American Chemical Society, the Instrument Society of America, and the Federation of Analytical Chemists and Spectroscopy Societies; and at several universities, government agencies, and corporations.
Patented inventions include: multi-spectral monitoring (data fusion), web-based information technology in spectroscopy, scanning systems for positioning materials in manufacturing technology, invention of small molecule metabolite reporters for monitoring multiple parameters in human metabolism, advanced technology and algorithm development for instrument automation, standardization, and calibration, and for manufacturing monitoring methods for consumer products.
He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists, the American Society for Testing and Materials International, and the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK). He is also a Chartered Chemist (CChem) of the Royal Society of Chemistry (England) and a Chartered Scientist of the Science Council (UK). He has served as Chair of the Industrial Advisory Board for the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) at the Univ. of Washington; The Council for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy; and is past Chairman of ASTM Main Committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Separation Science. He has served on the US National Academies NRC Panel for assessment of NIST programs, the NIH technical review panel, and has been a speaker in the US FDA Visiting Professor Lecture Series.
With a BA in natural sciences and an MA in biological sciences from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, Dr Workman's PhD is in biological chemistry from Columbia Pacific University. He is a graduate of the Columbia Senior Executive Program and also holds Columbia Business School Certificates in Executive Development (CIED) and in Business Excellence (CIBE). He also holds a Certificate in Strategy and Innovation from the MIT Sloan School. He is listed in Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in America, and Who's Who in Science and Engineering.
