[and]... deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers.” —Chemistry and Industry “Continues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series.” —Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry “Will definitely be of much use to researchers in the field of electrochemistry. . . . The editors of this well-produced volume deserve all appreciation for maintaining the excellent standard of the series.” —Bulletin of Electrochemistry “Extremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series.” —Journal of the American Chemical Society
