✦ Synopsis

The complementary chapter "Modern Methods in Surface Kinetics" by G. Ehrlich, presents a detailed exposition of flash desorption, electron microscopy, field ion microscopy and various ultrahigh vacuum techniques. These techniques have been used to confirm or refute previo~m mechanism proposals. Exceptional photographs and other supporting data are included.

Two detailed reviews of specific catalytic topics are: "Hydrogenation of Pyridines and Quinolines" by M. Freifelder, and "Catalytic Oxidation of Hydrocarbons" by L. Margolis. Reaction mechanisms, kinetics and various catalysts are described. The latter topic is of especial importance to those concerned with treatment of auto exhaust.
