Lasers are relatively recent additions to the analytical
scientist's arsenal. Because of this, many analysts-whether their
concern is research or some range of applications-are in need of a
tutorial introduction not only to the principles of lasers, their
optics, and radiation, but also to their already diverse and
burgeoning applications. The artic1es presented in this volume,
carefully enhanced and edited from lectures prepared for the ACS
Division of Analytical Chemistry 1979 Summer Symposium, are
designed to provide just such a broad introduction to the subject.
Thus, in addition to several excellent chapters on laser
fundamentals, there are many practically oriented artic1es dealing
with laser analytical methodology, inc1uding techniques based on
the absorption oflaser radiation, on laser-induced fluorescence,
and on some of the uses of lasers in chemical instru mentation. The
first of these sections is pivotal and reflects in part our
philosophy in organizing this collection. The authors of the
initial chapters were invited not only because of their expertise
in the field of lasers and analytical chemistry, but also because
their didactic approach to writing and their c1arity of
presentation were well known to us. It is our hope that individual
readers with little knowledge of lasers will gain from these
introductory chapters sufficient information to render the later,
more detailed artic1es both useful and meaningful."

Play: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis is co-published with the
Association for the Study of Play (TASP), an interdisciplinary,
international organization of play-research scholars. This volume,
the sixth in the Play and Culture TASP series, synthesizes
biological, anthropological, educational, and psychological
approaches to play. It is a valuable book with chapters from
premier researchers such as Robert Fagen and Carolyn Pope Edwards
of the United States, Arne Trageton of Norway, Paola de Sanctis
Ricciardone of Italy, and Jean Paul Rossie of Morocco. Also
included is an interstitial book-within-the-book by Brian
Sutton-Smith.
