Editorial Reviews

Review

'Hamann et al. have successfully stripped away the stayed image of the subject and revealed all of the exciting aspects.
"Electrochemistry" really is "the Full Monty"!'
(The Electrochemistry Newsletter)

'Physical chemists will appreciate the style of the book... This 423 page book is an interesting and brave attempt by experienced workers to bring together old an newer aspects of physical electrochemistry at a reasonable price. It should prove useful reading to many research workers in this and related fields.'
(Corrosion Management)

'This textbook... is scientifically up to date and thorough, but still didactically skilful and lucid.'
(Documentation Tech/Sci, HBLavoisier)

Well presented and illustrated the 423 pages will be a most valuable source of referenced information for the engineer who is involved with aspects of electrochemistry applications and its many interfaces.
(Materials & Manufacture)

Aimed mainly at undergraduate students of chemistry, this excellent text by German and British authors covers solution electrochemistry; kinetcs; fused salts; industrial electrochemistry; and cells and electroanalysis. It is well illustrated and fully referenced.
(Aslib Book Guide)

Anyone - from advanced undergraduate up - wanting to be brought up to date in these fields will find the text highly useful.
(Times Higher Educational Supp.)

This review is from: Electrochemistry (Hardcover)

I use this textbook for teaching an undergraduate electrochemistry class. The text covers most of the necessary topics and recommends IUPAC quantities, units, and symbols.
