Abstract
THE author states in his preface that "This ! volume is an exposition, adapted to Industrial Research, of the fundamentals of Surface Science". In fact, it is nothing of the sort ; it is an assemblage of data of surface phenomena with the fundamentals badly scamped. Too frequently also, the author introduces a topic with a definite statement and then proceeds to cite reservations and evidence against it without afterwards summing up. The reader is left confused.
