This book of general analytical chemistry - as opposed to instrumental analysis or separation methods - in aqueous solutions is focuses on fundamentals, which is an area too often overlooked in the literature. Explanations abound of the chemical and physical principles of different operations of chemical analysis in aqueous solutions. Once these principle are firmly established, numerous examples of applications are also given.

From the reviews:

"Burgot (Professeur Honoraire des Universités, France) presents the properties of water and the equilibria that can be established in it. ... The author discusses and efficiently compiles many wet chemical methods. ... there are examples ´taken from the fields of inorganic and organic chemistries and even from that of biochemistry,´ ... . Summing Up: Recommended. ... Researchers/faculty and professionals/practitioners." (J. Allison, Choice, Vol. 50 (5), January, 2013)
