Daniel C. Harris
Dan Harris was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1948.  He earned degrees in Chemistry from MIT in 1968 and Caltech 1973 and was a postdoc at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.  After teaching at the University of California at Davis from 1975-1980 and at Franklin and Marshall College from 1980-1983, he moved to the Naval Air Systems Command at China Lake, California, where he is now a Senior Scientist and Esteemed Fellow.  While teaching analytical chemistry at Davis, he wrote his lectures in bound form for his students.  This volume caught the attention of publishers representatives wandering through the college bookstore.  The first edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis was published in 1982.  The first edition of Exploring Chemical Analysis came out in 1996.  Both have undergone regular revision.  Dan is also co-author of Symmetry and Spectroscopy published in 1978 by Oxford University Press and now available from Dover Press.  His book Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes was published by SPIE press in 1999.  Dan and his wife Sally were married in 1970.  They have two children and four grandchildren.  Sallys work on every edition of the books is essential to their quality and accuracy.

Charles A. Lucy
Chuck Lucy is Professor Emeritus and 3M National Teaching Fellow at the University of Alberta. He has published over 160 papers (26 with undergraduate researchers) and been on the editorial advisory boards of seven analytical journals, including Analytical Chemistry and Analyst. He is a passionate teacher who has taught classes ranging from large first-year courses to discovery-based graduate lectures. Chuck has organized teaching workshops and chemistry education symposia across North America and has received numerous awards, including the Chemical Institute of Canada Award for Chemistry Education and the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry’s J. Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Education. After contributing content to several chapters in the ninth edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis, Chuck has broad responsibilities as a co-author of this tenth edition. The statistics, spectrophotometry, and chromatography chapters have benefited most from Chuck’s authorship. He highlights contributions of undergraduate student researchers and his new end-of-chapter problems emphasize graphical examination of data. Many of his problems incorporate primary sources and research publications, or make use of online tools such as a chromatography simulator with which you can observe the effects of varying experimental conditions.

Today, analytical chemistry must compete with hot fields like artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and genetics for students. (In addition to competing with traditional rivals such as medicine and engineering, where students are aware of possible careers.)
QCA's objective is to inspire students. Openers and examples from the literature use topical examples selected to capture students' interest. 11e QCA revisions emphasize examples where analytical chemistry serves humanity and the environment (see About the Book for examples). Students want to know they can make a difference - so we are showing them that analytical chemistry provides many opportunities to do that.
Students also need to see themselves in the field. Over 25 profiles of individuals doing analytical chemistry have been added to QCA, and over 100 in the accompanying powerpoint. Additionally, new career information throughout the book shows students that there are indeed careers within the field. Undergraduate research is exposed through explicit acknowledgement in figure captions and in margin notes and videos throughout the book - in the hope that students will be inspired to seek out these invaluable experiences (and by which the instructor and department will benefit by recruiting students into their program and labs.)
Harris/Lucy, QCA is rigorous and the gold standard. QCA is well recognized internationally, with access to the opinions and suggestions of a wide range of international experts. These experts anneal and temper the information in QCA to be as correct as possible - within the ability of students to understand.
Additional QCA benefits are the extensive problems and exercises. QCA has a wealth of examples (with full solutions), Exercises (with full solutions), Problems (with answers in the back of the book, solutions in the Solution Manual, and 10% within Achieve), and with 11e there are now additional full solutions (in epub) for the Test Yourself problems that accompany the Examples.
