Advance praise: 'For more than three decades, the first two editions of Phil Woodruff's text have been a key reference for surface scientists: simple, comprehensive, authoritative, extremely helpful as a first step for graduate students and junior researchers. The fast evolution of the field required a general update, and this was done in a masterful way. But this new edition goes well beyond: the strategy of the presentation has changed radically to reflect the present situation of the field, becoming a 'user-oriented' instrument. As such, it is even more useful than the past editions, and therefore highly recommended.' Giorgio Margaritondo, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland Advance praise: 'This is an excellent textbook for introducing students and new researchers to the most important characterization techniques used in surface analysis and adsorption studies, which are of ever-increasing importance in a wide range of chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology research. It is logically organized and very well written for facile understanding by non-experts, yet refers to the best literature sources with more detailed information when needed for the next level of mastery of each method. It is impressive in its in-depth and up-to-date coverage of the most important aspects of this broad range of techniques, all within a moderate-size text. The author is a true expert and pioneer in this field, and it shows in this valuable new contribution.' Charles Campbell, University of Washington
