Summary: Second Edition updated
Review: The 1st edition (the 1980 version) was the gold standard of electrochemistry books, and the authors have done an excellent job of revision for the 2001 2nd edition. In particular, the sections on impedance and modern pulse methods flow nicely. The spectroscopy section has been updated as well. I have not worked many problems, but they seem useful in elucidating concepts. The mathematics is of a higher order than one expects from electrochemistry, showing the impact of kinetics on electrode processes nicely. I recommend this text for electrochemistry courses highly.

Summary: Excellent reference
Review: This is a very complete and thorough book, andcovers all of the fundamentals. It suffers from being somewhat out-of-date (1980), so it doesnot cover modern techniques (e.g., x-ray, STM) or single-crystal electrodes. It can be rough for the first-time student, but it's a must for the serious researcher. I often spend hours working on a problem, only to discover the answer is buried in here!
