摘要:"Electrochemistry at present needs several kinds of books. For example, it needs a textbook in which the whole field is discussed at a strong theoretical level. The most pressing need, however, is for a book which outlines the field at a level which can be understood by people entering it from different disciplines who have no previous background in the field but who wish to use modern electrochemical concepts and ideas as a basis for their own work. It is this need which the authors have tried to meet."--Page viii
