Reviews from the First Edition:"Excel® for Chemists should be part of any academic library offering courses and programs in chemistry. There is no other book on the market that deals so thoroughly with the application of Excel for analyzing chemical data. Highly recommended, for upper-division undergraduates through professionals."

"I highly recommend this book; treat yourself to it; assign it to a class; give it as a gift."
-The Nucleus
Chemists across all subdisciplines use Excel to record data in tabular form, but few have learned to take full advantage of the scientific calculating power within this program. Excel is capable of helping chemists process, analyze, and present scientific data, from the relatively simple to the highly complex. Excel® for Chemists, Second Edition has been revised and updated, not only to take into account the changes that were made in Excel, but also to incorporate an abundance of new examples.
Arranged in a user-friendly format, this book contains illustrations and examples of chemical applications, useful "How to" boxes outlining how to accomplish complex tasks in Excel, and step-by-step instructions for programming Excel to automate repetitive data-processing tasks. In addition, tips are provided to speed, simplify, and improve your use of Excel. Included is a CD-ROM, usable in either Macintosh or IBM/Windows environments with many helpful spreadsheet templates, macros, and other tools.
Entirely new chapters contained in this Second Edition feature:
- Array formulas covered in depth in a separate chapter, along with a comprehensive review of using arrays in VBA
- How to create a worksheet with controls, such as option buttons, check boxes, or a list box
- An extensive list of shortcut keys-over 250 for Macintosh or PC-is provided in the appendix
Whether as a text for students or as a reference for chemical professionals in industry, academia, or government,
Excel® for Chemists, Second Edition provides a valuable resource for using Excel to manage various chemical calculations.
"As a venture capitalist, I negotiate every day. Michael Watkins′ book is the first I have found that truly grapples with complications of real–world negotiations. The book provides the reader with a practical framework for plotting strategy and is chock full of relevant case studies and solid advice on getting the most from every negotiation. As I read this book, I was struck at how often I was able to apply the tools and techniques to my past and current experiences in negotiation. Watkins′ book is a powerful tool for anybody who wants to take control and come out on top. I wish I had read it 20 years ago," (John F. Eckert Founder and Managing Partner, McLean Watson Capital Inc.: and President, Canadian Venture Capital Association)
