Synopses & Reviews
The
Encyclopedia of Separation Science is the most comprehensive resource available on the theory, techniques, and applications of separation science. The work presents information on three levels. The first volume contains Level 1, which provides a broad overview of the theory of the 12 main categories of separation techniques. Volumes 2-4 (Level 2) expand coverage with detailed theoretical and technical descriptions of particular techniques. The remaining Volumes 5-9 (Level 3) cover applications of these techniques from the micro to the macro, and also from the analytical laboratory bench to large-scale industrial processes. Volume 10 consists mainly of the index. Initial access to the online version offering extensive hypertext linking and advanced search tools is available with purchase. Ongoing access is maintained for a minimum annual fee.
The Encyclopedia of Separation Science is the first truly comprehensive work covering the whole of separation theory, methods, and techniques. This encyclopedia will be invaluable to researchers and professionals across a wide range of areas in academia and industry.

Review
Prepublication Praise:
"I think this is a great idea given the dominant position of separation techniques in many areas of science and technology... I am not aware of anything similar on the market."
-Professor Shawn Doogan, UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON, U.K.
"I feel that the overall structure is sound. A user wishing to use or research a specific technique may access the information at the level of introduction, background theory or by looking at practical examples."
-Professor David Sheehan, UNIVERSITY OF COLLEGE CORK, IRELAND
"Given the assurances of breadth of coverage, I believe the project to be viable, exciting and most useful."
-Professor Alan Townshend, UNIVERSITY OF HULL, U.K.

Synopsis
The Encyclopedia of Separation Science is the most comprehensive resource available on the theory, techniques, and applications of separation science. The work is organized on three levels. Level 1 provides a broad overview of the theory of the 12 main categories of separation techniques. Level 2 expands coverage with detailed theoretical and technical descriptions of particular techniques. Level 3 covers applications of these techniques from the micro to the macro, and also from the analytical laboratory bench to large-scale industrial processes.
About the Author
Prof. Poole was born and educated in the United Kingdom receiving a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Leeds (1971) followed by graduate studies at the University of Bristol, MSc. in analytical chemistry (1972), and Ph.D. with Prof. E. D. Morgan at the University of Keele (1975) on the analysis of insect molting hormones. Since 1980 he has been at the Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA, except for 1995-1996, spent as the Governors’ Lecturer and Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine, London, in the United Kingdom.
Prof. Poole is a polychromatographer with broad interests in the separation and detection of small molecules in biological, environmental, and food samples; sample preparation technology; and computer-aided data analysis techniques. He is the author of over 325 research papers, an editor of the Journal of Chromatography, and a member of the editorial boards of 5 other analytical chemistry journals. In 1985 he received the Tswett Medal of the International Symposium Advances in Chromatography, in 1991 the Jubilee Medal of the Chromatographic Society, and in 1997 a D.Sc. from the University of Leeds (UK).
