Originally published in 1949, as part of the Cambridge Monographs on Physics series, this book acts as a response to J. K. Roberts' 1939 work Some Problems in Adsorption. A. R. Miller applies newer statistical methods of analysis to update Roberts' explanations and take previously overlooked elements into consideration. This volume will be of value to anyone with an interest in adsorption and the history of science.
