Product Description
Extensively revised and updated, this new edition, as in previous editions, emphasizes the point that the most important part of learning how to interpret unknown mass spectra is to practice interpreting mass spectra. The book aims at correlating ion dissociation mecanisms on a much broader scale, with the emphasis on basic attributes such as ionization energies, proton affinities and bond dissociation energies. The authors also tried to show how these mechanisms are applicable to the unimolecular dissociations of ions formed by any ionization method, including the new methods for obtaining mass spectra of large molecules. |

Quite handy by F. Goodson  4 Stars
August 31, 2007
This little red book is certainly worth having around, especially if your just begining to analyze mass spec. There are lots of examples and problems to sharpen your skills.

Does the Job Well... by AnotherChemist (Berkeley, CA)  5 Stars
May 13, 2007
If you need a book on Interpreting your mass spectra this is it. Mainly concentrates on electron impact spectra but applicable to other methods. Gets quite involved though, we really only touched the first 4 chapters in any detail in my grad class. It is reasonable easy to read but quite dense, there is more information here than the page count might indicate.

Great introduction to the basics by Edmund Paley 5 Stars
February 20, 2002
This book covers the basics of mass spectra, and how to interpret them by hand. While it doesn't reallly go into modern developments, its certainly a great way to get started thinking about mass spectroscopy in general. Probably most useful for an undergras course in spectroscopy, which is where I first came across it. The nice thing is it has lots of exercises for the reader that are actually alot of fun. Does not, unfortunately, address protein identification and sequencing by mass spec at al, so while I recommend this book as a starting point, a biologically oriented reader would best use this book in conjunction with a more protein-specific reference.

Beginners text  3 Stars
August 19, 2000
A good introduction to classical mass spectrometry though most of the recent developments in the field are not covered. Most suitable for undergraduates. This edition corrects some of the organizational blunders in earlier forms ; previously a chapter on "Other Ionization Techniques" included sections on negative ions and icrs (?).
