Perspectives in Catalysis
A "Chemistry for the 21st Century Monograph".

J. M. Thomas, K. I. Zamaraev

Blackwell Science,1992 [ISBN
0632031654]

Catalysis is considered worldwide as one of the top research frontiers of chemistry. It is the backbone of the chemical industry and hence the key to the production of fabrics, foodstuffs, fuels and pharmaceuticals. It is also a fundamental feature of all life processes. The last three decades have witnessed, in the scientific study of catalysis, a progressive shift from phenomenological approaches to structured and mechanistic investigations at the molecular level, using new sophisticated and very powerful instrumentation, quantum chemical calculations and other computational methods. Given the profound effect that these recent research advances will have upon our industries in the 21st century, it is perfectly proper that one of the first books in this series should be dedicated to catalysis

* catalysis is considered worldwide os one of the top research frontiers in chemistry
* the backbone of chemistry and thus the key to the production of many of our basic materials
* the recent advances over thirty years are poised to have a dramatic effect on the efficiency, safety and quality of our industries
* an international, expert authorship
* an essential and timely reference for the industrial chemical and related industries
