✦ Synopsis

The discussion of acid-base catalysis is concerned largely with the quantitative relationships which have been experimentally observed to govern the kinetics of reactions subject to general catalysis.

Consideration of the mechanism of acid-base catalysis is brief and limited, in the case of keto-enol tautomerism, to the familiar Pedersen concept of a duality of mechanism.

Complete omission of Swain's recently proposed mechanism (involving concerted electrophilic-nucleophilic attack on the substrate) is somewhat regrettable because of its possible significance to the general theory of homogeneous catalysis.

The book serves, however, as a valuable introduction to the Bronsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases and utilizes prominent experimental evidence to illustrate the various subjects under discussion.

Contrary to procedures followed in many books, the author develops the equations for a transmission line from Maxwell's equations; these are then specialized for the cases of coaxial and twin lead lines. Emphasis throughout the book is on high frequency applications, where the line can serve as an i
