Abstract
THE behaviour of metals towards the common gases is important to many industries, but investigators who have been concerned with its various aspects have had little contact with each other, and the subject has not hitherto been adequately treated from a theoretical point of view. Dr. Smithells's book is therefore extremely welcome, and its wide scope and original outlook make it a most valuable addition to metallurgical literature.
