Interfacial Science: An Introduction
Review from previous edition: "The book is particularly remarkable in the simplicity of demonstrating basic thermodynamic notions and also on the thorough descriptions it gives of up-to-date physical characterization techniques. I strongly recommend this book, not only to undergraduate students... but also to a wider audience, particularly PhD students who would benefit from a brief but complete overview on the physical chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. It is perfectly suited to professors who would like to introduce basic interface notions to students in science."  --Dr Francois Ganachaud, ENSCM, Montpellier - ChemPhysChem 2006, 7, 965-967, Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co."This is a very well written account of the main aspects of interfacial science. It is suitable for intermediate and senior undergraduates and fills a gap in the currently available text books."  --Jack Yarwood, Royal Society of Chemistry 2006"Barnes and Gentle present fascinating examples... an ideal textbook."              --Joseph Keddie (reader in Physics, Surrey University) - Times Higher Education 2008"Barnes and Gentle take a well-rounded approach, carefully considering the mathematics of interface behaviour along with the physical properties."  --SciTech Book News - 2006 Book News Inc., Portland, OR
