This two-volume handbook covers analytical techniques for a large range of stable isotopes, excluding noble gases and those elements which only have one stable isotope. Laboratory workers can use this handbook to look up stable isotope techniques easily, without needing to dig into literature, which is not always obtainable.

Volume I contains subjective reviews, specialized and novel technique descriptions by guest authors. Part 1 includes contributions on purely analytical techniques and Part 2 includes matters such as development of mass spectrometers, stability of ion sources, standards and calibration, correction procedures and experimental methods to obtain isotopic fractionation factors.

Volume II contains a thorough, objective review on analytical techniques and directly related matters, based on published literature, reports, personal communications, isogeochem list discussions, and personal experiences. This forms Part 3 of the books. Both volumes will contain single 'merged' reference lists for the volume in question.

These volumes cover a wide range of disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, agricultural science, atmospheric science, biology, biogeochemistry, climatology, ecology, environmentology, food science, forensic science, geochemistry, hydrology, marine science, medical science, meteoritic science, paleontology, and planetary science.
