Biography

Paul C.H. Li

"…truly an awesome book…This well-documented book with a multitude of references: 1/178 references are integrated throughout the book…well-written and compares well to other science books of its kind…a great book to learn about instrument design, with numerous pictures and illustrations making the text much easier to understand. Good pictures are something that is lacking in all too many science books."
-Gary S. Vardon, Salt Lake Tribune, in Journal of Materials

"In fact I can say that it is an excellent book, well thought out and written."

– P. Myers, in Chromatographia, June 2007, Vol. 65
