Do not learn the tricks of the trade, learn the trade I started
teachinggraduate coursesin chemical sensors in early 1980s, ?rst as a
o- quarter (30 h) class then as a semester course and also as several
intensive, 4–5-day courses. Later I organized my lecture notes into
the ?rst edition of this book, which was published by Plenum in 1989
under the title Principles of Chemical Sensors. I started working on
the second edition in 2006. The new edition of Principles of Chemical
Sensors is a teaching book, not a textbook. Let me explain the
difference. Textbooks usually cover some more or less narrow subject
in maximum depth. Such an approach is not possible here. The subject
of chemical sensors is much too broad, spanning many aspects of
physical and analytical chemistry, biochemistry, materials science,
solid-state physics, optics, device fabrication, electrical engine-
ing, statistical analysis, and so on. The challengefor me has been to
present uniform logical coverage of such a large area. In spite of its
relatively shallow depth, it is intended as a graduate course. At its
present state the amount of material is more thancan be coveredin a
one-semestercourse (45h). Two one-quartercourseswould be more
appropriate. Because of the breadth of the material, the sensor course
has a somewhat unexpected but, it is hoped, bene?cial effect.
