What drives a scientist to edit a book on a speci c scienti c subject such as chiral mechanisms in separation methods? Until December 2005, the journal Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society (Washington, DC) had an A-page section that was dedicated to simple and clear presentations of the most recent te- niques or the state of the art in a particular eld or topic. The "A-page" section was prepared for a broad audience of chemists including industrial professionals, s- dents as well as academics looking for information outside their eld of expertise. 1 Daniel W. Armstrong, one of the editors of this journal and a twenty-year+ long friend, invited me to present my view on chiral recognition mechanisms in a simple and clear way in an "A-page" article. In 2006, the "A-page" section was maintained as the rst articles at the beginning of each rst bi-monthly issue but the pagination was no longer page distinguished from the regular research articles published by the journal. During the time between the invitation and the submission, the A-page section was integrated into the rest of the journal and the article appeared as (2006) Anal Chem (78):2093-2099.

From the reviews:
“I strongly recommend this book to those interested in understanding the mechanisms responsible for chiral recognition in chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. … This book may be of interest both to beginners and to confirmed practitioners in the field. … Chiral recognition in separation methods is a valuable book compiling a detailed description of most of the essential chiral selectors employed in chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. … Both students and practitioners interested in enantiorecognition mechanisms should have it in their library.” (Caroline West, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 400, 2011)
