Reviews

“We also highly recommend the book as a “get acquainted” resource for senior chemistry and chemical engineering students and their advisors. The upbeat and inspirational style of the book will broaden the horizon of those looking for a challenging graduate program and an exciting professional career. Thank you, J. M. and W. J. Thomas, for your labor of love.”  (Angewandte Chemie, 1 October 1997) 'The eight chapters of this excellent book reflect a good portion of the modern heterogeneous catalysis principles, techniques, and applications... This book is perfectly suitable as required reading in graduate heterogeneous catalysis courses, given the many interesting "standard" and "thought" problems included at the end of each chapter.'
Journal of the American Chemical Society

'This book will be welcomed by those concerned with catalysis and catalysts, and its broad topical coverage will make it particularly useful for teaching purposes.'
Chemistry and Industry

'This Book can be expected to be highly useful as lecture material or as a student reference book in a course on heterogeneous catalysis... For any graduate student in catalysis the book should be required reading. The catalysis community is well served by this excellent treatise.'
Advanced Materials

'Ce livre doit figurer en bonne place dans toutes les bibliotheques des chercheurs et ingénieurs concernés par la catalyse (this book should be on a good place on the shelf in all libraries of scientists and engineers working in the catalysis area).'
Revue de l'institut francais du pétrole

'This book is written for advanced students and all scientists who want to gain a working knowledge about the area of heterogeneous catalysis. I agree with recommendation without limits and I would like to recommend the book particularly as text accompanying lectures about heterogeneous catalysis, whether within the framework of the education in technical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry or chemical engineering.
I am sure that "Principles and Practice of Heterogeneous Catalysis" also will develop to be a classic text in the literature on catalysis which should not be missing on a bookshelf.'
Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft

"... one must salute the authors for undertaking the enormous labour needed to produce a text which will surely be of value for many years to come."
Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology

´Ich bin mir sicher, daß auch die "Principles of Heterogeneous Catalysis" zu einem Lehrbuch-Klassiker der Katalyse-Literatur werden, der in keinem Bücherschrank fehlen sollte. Mein Dank in dieser Hinsicht gilt nicht nur den Autoren, sondern auch VCH für den ansprechenden Preis der Softcover-Ausgabe.´
Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft

...ist...ein sehr wertvolles Buch entstanden, das m.E. in jeden mit heterogener Katalyse befaßten Arbeitskreis und in jede Chemiebibliothek gehört. ... Wegen seiner Vielseitigkeit und des Reichtums an aktueller Information ist es ... mit Sicherheit eine lohnende Lektüre nicht nur für Studenten, sondern für alle, die wissenschaftliches und Anwendungsinteresse mit der heterogenen Katalys verbindet.
(Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie)

"Zusammenfassend stellt das Buch von Thomas und Thomas eine umfassende, aktuelle Einführung und ein umfangreiches Nachschlageaawerk für Studenten und Wissenschaftler der Heterogenen Katalyse dar. Zieht man zusätzlich den günstigen Preis in Betracht, so gehört dieses Werk in das Bücherregal zumindest eines jeden Heterogen-Katalytikers."
Chemische Technik


"Allem voran - es ist eine Freude, dieses Buch zu lesen.

Ich war erstaunt, wie sorgfältig und eingehend jedes Thema ausgearbeitet ist. Es ist ein Buch meisterhaften Stils und von hohem Niveau.

Belebt und gespeist wird das Buch aus der engen Verbindung der Autoren nicht nur mit dem Stoff, sondern auch mit den Personen, denen die im Text beschriebenen Fortschritte zu danken sind - ihre Namen werden stets erwähnt. Das Buch wendet sich an fortgeschrittene Studenten und junge Forscher; auch ich, nicht mehr ganz am Anfang, fand es außerordentlich lohnend."
