dc.descriptionThe book is divided into four parts, Basic Science, Applications, Materials, and Instrumentation. Basic Science consists of six chapters covering the concepts from chemistry, physics, and the biological sciences upon which the analytical techniques are based. This scientific primer may be required by some readers to fully understand the rationale and theory behind sample selection, processing, and analysis. Descriptions of atoms, elements, molecules, and their properties are given in Chapter 1. Electromagnetic radiation, Chapter 2, is particularly relevant to the spectroscopic techniques covered in Chapters 34–36, and 39. The principles of radioactive decay, described in Chapter 3, are applicable to the dating techniques described in Chapters 8 and 9 and analytical techniques described in Chapters 32 and 39. Not surprisingly, the stable isotopes described in Chapter 4 are relevant to Chapter 13. The organic compounds described in Chapter 5 are those analyzed in Chapters 8 and 13 (collagen), 14 (lipids), 15 (blood and other proteins), and 16 (DNA). The topics covered in Chapter 6 are broadly relevant to the study of organic compounds as well-
