Handbook of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

I just read The Handbook of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy straight through in one sitting - it is a wonderful book that will be useful for those just starting in LIBS or those specialists needing a concise summary of a particular area with a current set of references.

As a LIBS researcher (U.C. San Diego) and practitioner (Photon Machines, Inc.), my hat is off to Dave Cremers and Lee Radziemski for a terrific contribution. If you're interested in LIBS, I recommend this book!

I also happened to read the entire book in one sitting :) Being relatively new to LIBS, I found the book very interesting and helpful in understanding its various facets, more importantly the potential developments in the field of LIBS.
