This text contains details of experimental methods and of the equipment needed for carrying out observations and measurements at very high pressures. These range from a few thousand atmospheres for chemical studies to hundreds of thousands of atmospheres for some physical experimentation. By these methods much can be learned concerning the structure of matter, mechanisms of chemical reactions and applications such as the preservation of food.

High pressure techniques in chemistry and physics is useful and I would recommend it to anyone interested in high pressures. (Chemistry in Britain, October)
This book contains practical advice on equipment, techniques and step-by-step protocols, as well as background information. (Aslib Book Guide, vol. 63, no. 3, March 1998)
'This book provides a very timely review and description of techniques for studies at high pressure across a very wide range of science...A good starter book for researchers new to the field of high pressure studies and...a valuable addition to the library of any group working in this field.' (John Loveday, Crystallography News)
