"Born of decades of diverse
experience performing research and teaching in the field of surface and
colloid science, Prof. Berg's new textbook is a must buy for students
just entering the field, as well as for experts. I find myself
frequently referring to the book as a reference when writing grants.
Prof. Berg's organization of the subject matter, combined with his
exquisitely clear descriptions that provide a molecular level
understanding of phenomena, have set a new standard for textbooks in
the field."
-- Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
The textbook seeks to bring readers with no prior knowledge
or experience in interfacial phenomena, colloid science or nanoscience
to the point where they can comfortably enter the current scientific
and technical literature in the area.
Designed as a pedagogical tool, this book recognizes the
cross-disciplinary nature of the subject. To facilitate learning, the
topics are developed from the beginning with ample cross-referencing.
The understanding of concepts is enhanced by clear descriptions of
experiments and provisions of figures and illustrations.
