Great Electrochemistry Series!
These authors have a great writing style. This is a subject matter that has a potential to be very, very dry but the authors have somehow made it enjoyable. If they get into hardcore calculations and derivations that you might be a little rusty on, they anticipate that (I assume from lots of students' feedback) and include appendixes at the end of each chapter so that you don't need to run off and find the corresponding chapter in one of your math/physics/chemistry textbooks. They also have a very useful nomenclature guide (in the first book only) in case you keep forgetting what certain symbols mean and what units they are in. The footnotes are great and keep things from getting too dry. Overall, I would definitely recommend these three books.

Note: Unless you have a fetish for hard covers, get the paperbacks; they're half the cost. When I bought these books from amazon.com, it was very confusing to figure out which books to get. Here are the ISBN's of each of the three books in the series. This will save you some headache:

Excellent text and reference
The Modern Electrochemistry volumes are truly excellent textbooks and references for all aspects of electrochemistry.
Whether you're dealing with corrosion, electrolytic processes, batteries, or biochemistry, the electrochemistry is fully explained here.The authors go into a great deal of detail topics while maintaining a very familiar, easy-to-read tone.There are also plenty of interesting historical footnotes which serve to lighten the text.

These books are written for electrochemists interested in the chemical mechanisms behind electrochemical processes.Applications of these processes are treated very briefly.If you are more interested in real-world applications of these processes, other texts may serve you better.

The text comes in three volumes, which is problematic.It is difficult to find all three at most booksellers.Many online booksellers (including Amazon) don't distinguish between the volumes in their catalogs; I had to go by ISBN numbers to ensure I got the complete set.But it was well worth the trouble.

A Bible of Electrochemistry Education

The difference of this second Ed. from the first one is huge; the author actually rewrote ca. 50% of the first volume (Ionics) and ca. 70% of the second volume (Electrodics, still in writing), covering literature upto later 90's.

For classroom use, the most important addition of theedition is the problem set, which are extremely helpfulfor students on introductory level.

It was a great honor of me to beinvited by the author to write part of the problem sets for all chapters inVol.1 and a few chapters in Vol.2, and I can tell you that the author andthe problem writers put in a lot of effort to elucidate the fundamentalelectrochemistry while also help original thinkings of the students on moreadvanced electrochemistry issues.

The best introductory book in Electrochemistry
This book By Bockris and Reddy, is the best book you can hope to lay your hands, if you are lookingfor an good introduction and thorough descriptionof the fundamentals. This is definetely one book, or rathertwo books which no library should be without, including libraries ofgraudatestudents.

A good treatment for those new to electrochemistry
The authors do a good job introducing the concepts of electrochemistry in a fairly readable and thorough manner.The individual chapters can be read more or less independently with minimal flipping back to earlier material for reference.The subject mater is handled at a level appropriate for an intermediate level student or for one not exceedingly familiar with electrochemistry.Exercises and problems are infrequent so this may not be a good stand alone text for an upper division class although I found the emphasis on conceptual understanding very valuable.In all a very good text.

Book Description
AN INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROCHEMISTRY BY SAMUEL GLASSTONE,PREFACE The object of this book is to provide an introduction to electro chemistry in its present state of development. An attempt has been made to explain the fundamentals of the subject as it stands today, de voting little or no space to the consideration of theories and arguments that have been discarded or greatly modified. In this way it is hoped that the reader will acquire the modern point of view in electrochemistry without being burdened by much that is obsolete. In the opinion of the writer, there have been four developments in the past two decades that have had an important influence on electrochemistry. They are the ac tivity concept, the interionic attraction theory, the proton-transfer theory of acids and bases, and the consideration of electrode reactions as rate processes. These ideas have been incorporated into the structure of the book, with consequent simplification and clarification in the treatment of many aspects of electrochemistry. This book differs from the au thors earlier work, The Electrochem istry of Solutions in being less comprehensive and in giving less detail. While the latter is primarily a work of reference, the present book is more suited to the needs of students of physical chemistry, and to those of chemists, physicists and physiologists whose work brings them in con tact with a variety of electrochemical problems. As the title implies, the book should also serve as an introductory text for those who in tend to specialize in either the theoretical or practical applications of electrochemistry. In spite of some lack of detail, the main aspects of the subject have been covered, it is hoped impartially and adequately. There has been some tendency in recent electrochemical texts to pay scant attention to the phenomena at active electrodes, such as ovcrvoltage, passivity, cor rosion, deposition of metals, and so on. These topics, vihich are of importance in applied electrochemistry, are treated here at Mich length as seems reasonable. In addition, in view of tho growing interest in electrophoresis, and its general acceptance as a branch of electrochem istry, a chapter on clectrokinetic phenomena has boon included. No claim is made to anything approaching completeness in the matter of references to the scientific literature. Such reformers as arc given arc generally to the more recent publications, to review articles, and to papers that may, for one reason or another, have some special interest. References are also frequently included to indicate the sources from which data have been obtained for many of the diagrams and tables. Since no effort was made to be exhaustive in this connection, it was felt that an author index would be misleading... ... Read more
