Leading researchers discuss the past and present of chromatography
More than one hundred years after Mikhail Tswett pioneered adsorption chromatography, his separation technique has developed into an important branch of scientific study. Providing a full portrait of the discipline, Chromatography: A Science of Discovery bridges the gap between early, twentieth-century chromatography and the cutting edge of today's research.
Featuring contributions from more than fifty award-winning chromatographers, Chromatography offers a multifaceted look at the development and maturation of this field into its current state, as well as its importance across various scientific endeavors. The coverage includes:
Consideration of chromatography as a unified science rather than just a separation method
Key breakthroughs, revolutions, and paradigm shifts in chromatography
Profiles of Nobel laureates who used chromatography in their research, and the role it played
Recent advances in column technology
Chromatography's contributions to the agricultural, space, biological/medical sciences; pharmaceutical science; and environmental, natural products, and chemical analysis
Future trends in chromatography
With numerous references and an engaging series of voices, Chromatography: A Science of Discovery offers a diverse look at an essential area of science. It is a unique and invaluable resource for researchers, students, and other interested readers who seek a broader understanding of this field.
Author Notes
ROBERT L. WIXOM (1924-2009). As Professor and then Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry at University of Missouri-Columbia, Dr. Wixom received three teaching awards, including a nomination by MU students for the Conservation Educator of the Year (1996) for the State of Missouri. He served as a departmental representative to the Graduate Faculty Senate (1970-1993) and the chair of the Biological Sciences Sector, (1989-1992), which included a key role in three new major university programs. He was the co-initiator of the UMC Environmental Affairs Council, serving as their first chair for three years (1990-1994). In 2003, he received the Earlham College Outstanding Alumni Award.
CHARLES W. GEHRKE (1917-2009). As Professor and then Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry at University of Missouri-Columbia, Dr. Gehrke authored over 260 scientific publications in analytical chemistry and biochemistry, including a number of books. He was widely known for developing a quantitative gas chromatographic analysis method for amino acids, which, with NASA, advanced the analysis of moon rocks for signs of life. Dr. Gehrke developed many official analytical methods that were adopted by the Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and received numerous awards, including the AOAC Harvey W. Wiley Award.
Drs. Wixom and Gehrke continued to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and education in many ways long after retiring from teaching and research at the University of Missouri. With a great appreciation for history and the groundwork that has been laid for future generations of scientists, they teamed up to produce this book Chromatography: A Science of Discovery. This is their last publication, as they both have passed away. The future of chromatography will benefit from their lifelong efforts.

Choice Review
Though it takes thousands to move a discipline forward (from the students to the unsung experts who quietly do their jobs), it is unfortunate that some works only focus on the few--the highly recognized award winners. This book continues that approach by discussing the contributions of recent awardees in chromatography. Since chromatography is a mature branch of chemistry, the editors have chosen to also focus on Nobel Prize winners who have used the technique as part of their research. Though this name-dropping book dedicates a few pages to topics such as defining the word "chromatography," most of the book is composed of photos and biographies. The awardees recognized are predominantly male. One page is devoted to women scientists in the field; few are listed. Although the book discusses the careers of many males, the distinguished women are confined to a table. Contributors touch on many concepts, new ideas, and paradigm shifts, but provide little detail. Focusing on some of the high-profile people in the field is an interesting way to discuss recent activity; however, it also detracts from the science itself, which is what readers could benefit from most.
