Additional Reading

Eric K. Rideal and Hugh S. Taylor, Catalysis in Theory and Practice, 2nd ed. (1926), recounts the state of this subject during World War I and the rapid advances in theory that occurred shortly thereafter. Paul H. Emmett, Catalysis Then and Now: A Survey of the Advances in Catalysis (1965), is a classic work written by a Nobel Prize winner. Paul H. Emmett (ed.), Catalysis, 7 vol. (1954–60), is a monumental treatment of the subject, both theory and practice, contributed by a group of international experts in the field. Additional information may be found in William P. Jencks, Catalysis in Chemistry and Enzymology (1969, reissued 1987); R. Pearce and W.R. Patterson (eds.), Catalysis and Chemical Processes (1981); John M. Thomas and Kirill I. Zamaraev (eds.), Perspectives in Catalysis (1992); Bruce C. Gates, Catalytic Chemistry (1992); and J.A. Moulijn, P.W.N.M. van Leeuwen, and R.A. van Santen (eds.), Catalysis: An Integrated Approach to Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, and Industrial Catalysis (1993). Advances in Catalysis (annual) records the year-to-year advances in the field as reported by international authorities.
