✦ Synopsis

clusters (Rosenberg and Laine) to metal cluster catalysts dispersed on solid supports. There is plenty here for those of us involved in either catalysis or clusters, or both.

As is always the case in volumes of this sort, there is some overlap and a range of styles but the information is there for those involved in both research and teaching. Much, of course, is highly speculative, and theres nothing wrong with that! There are no serious omissions and there is the odd bonus. Certainly, the chapter devoted to catalysis by colloids (Lewis) is very welcome.

Overall, a good, useful book which will be of benefit to both researchers and teachers.
