This manual is a collection of observations and notes gathered by the author, John T. Riley, Ph.D., while working for nearly three decades in coal science. It provides experiences from three different levels of involvement in coal science work:
 

1. Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in analytical, coal, and materials chemistry
2. Conducting funded research in coal and fuel science
3. Actively participating in standards development projects in ASTM International's Committee D05 on Coal and Coke
