CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - October 24, 2016) - Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the publication of the third edition of its major reference work, Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, edited by John Lindon, George Tranter and David Koppenaal. The updated work provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of spectroscopy and closely related subjects that use the same fundamental principles, including mass spectrometry, imaging techniques and applications. It includes the history, theoretical background, details of instrumentation and technology, and current applications of the key areas of spectroscopy. Elsevier also announced five other new chemistry and chemical engineering books.
The third edition of Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry includes more than 80 new articles across the field, complementing those from the previous edition, which have been brought up-to-date to reflect the latest trends. Topics covered in this edition include atomic spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, fundamentals in spectroscopy, high-energy spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, spatially-resolved spectroscopic analysis, and vibrational, rotational and Raman spectroscopies.

Dr. John Lindon is a professor and senior research investigator in the Division of Computational and Systems Medicine, part of the Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, UK. He is also a founder director of, and a consultant to, Metabometrix Ltd, a company spun out of Imperial College to exploit the commercial possibilities of metabolic phenotyping. Dr. George Tranter is a director of Chiralabs Ltd., a company he co-founded in 2002, focusing on investigative R&D and analysis of materials and phenomena ranging from drug substances and chemicals through to engineering components, industrial processes and consumer products. Dr. David Koppenaal is chief technology officer at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Center (EMSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA. His research interests include the development of new instrumental and spectroscopic techniques for metallomics applications and the metallomic study of cyanobacterial systems.
The six new chemistry and chemical engineering titles are:
- Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, Third Edition edited by John Lindon, George Tranter and David Koppenaal
- Advances in Organometallic Chemistry edited by Pedro Pérez
- NMR of Paramagnetic Molecules: Applications to Metallobiomolecules and Models, Second Edition by Ivano Bertini, Claudio Luchinat, Giacomo Parigi and Enrico Ravera
- Advanced Data Analysis and Modelling in Chemical Engineering by Denis Constales, Gregory Yablonsky, Dagmar D'hooge, Joris Thybaut and Guy Marin

In order to meet content needs in chemistry and chemical engineering, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books, which will educate the next generation of chemists and chemical engineers, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
