". . .highly beneficial to all researchers engaged in properties of organic solids. "---Bulletin of Electrochemistry". . .It is the merit of this book that it not only provides a broad overview of this rapidly developing field but also. . .presents each special, separate topic as a contribution from well-known researchers active in that area, each of whom has made significant advances in the topic under review. . . .I am sure that this cooperative effort will become, and remain, a standard reference for years to come.
