“They contribute to a clear, lucid reading and understanding, making, this is a valuable text, for both professionals and students of engineering, science, chemistry and metallurgy.  The book is enriched by an amazing number of references: 909; some of historical value, other illustrating fundamental aspects and current industrial practice.”  (Materials and Corrosion, 1 November 2012)"This book should provide the single best source of information on corrosion inhibitors...due to its extensive coverage, it deserves to be read by the majority of scientists in corrosion..."
