Editorial Reviews

Review


"As in previous editions, Dr. Becher has provided an overview of emulsion science that truly encompasses theory to practice. Therein lies the uniqueness and value of the expanded third edition. In concise, lucid text, the author describes the fundamentals of why and how emulsions form and are stabilized. . . . This book is neither an introductory survey nor a detailed treatise, but rather a bridge between them that provides the necessary resources to facilitate further study and inquiry. . . . [A] unique and valuable resource for workers and students in all levels of emulsion research and applications science. . . This is an information-rich and comfortable book to use; as a single volume work in this field, it does get much better." -- Journal of the American Chemical Society
