"...compared to its predecessors, Dr. Masel's book stands out with its up-to-date content. The book will find readers in a variety of disciplines..." (Chemical Engineering Progress)

"...comprehensive, up-to-date, and rigorous...an excellent text..." (Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 79, No. 3, March 2002)

Die traditionelle Behandlung der Grundlagen der chemischen Kinetik und der Katalyse wird in diesem Buch sinnvoll verknupft mit der Prasentation aktueller Rechenmethoden. Der Autor fuhrt vor, in welcher Weise sich Reaktionsmechanismen vorhersagen und A-priori-Zeitgesetze formulieren lassen. Anwenden lassen sich die Konzepte auf die Erforschung komplexer Phanomene, beispielsweise in biologischen Systemen, bei der Synthese von Halbleitern und bei Korrosionsprozessen.
