From the reviews: "It is ... a real pleasure to see a current, readable book that is devoted to the metal-catalyzed reactions of hydrocarbons ... . the comprehensive treatment given in this text will undoubtedly give its readers a deeper appreciation of the mechanisms that lie at the heart of many important industrial processes. The material is presented in a very clear and well-paced style ... . This book will be a significant aid for those wishing to gain a working knowledge of catalysis on metal surfaces." (Colin D. Abernethy, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 128 (4), 2006)
