Engineering aspects are presented by C.L. Mantell, Electrochemical Engineering, 4th ed. (1960); and Geoffry Prentice, Electrochemical Engineering Principles (1991). John O’M. Bockris and Amulya K.N. Reddy, Modern Electrochemistry, 2 vol. (1970), is a textbook, relatively easy to understand, that is slanted toward readers in other fields who want to use electrochemical reactions. John O’M. Bockris and D.M. Dražić, Electro-Chemical Science (1972), is another simple text. Additional introductory works are Philip H. Rieger, Electrochemistry (1987); Bryant W. Rossiter and John F. Hamilton (eds.), Physical Methods of Chemistry, 2nd ed., vol. 2, Electrochemical Methods (1986); and Allen Bard and Larry R. Faulkner, Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications (1980). More advanced works include K.J. Vetter, Electrochemical Kinetics, rev. ed. (1967), the first textbook on the fundamentals and the standard work; Paul Delahay, Double Layer and Electrode Kinetics (1965); B.E. Conway, Theory and Principles of Electrode Processes (1965); Ilana Fried, The Chemistry of Electrode Processes (1973); Electrochemistry (irregular), part of the Topics in Current Chemistry series; and Allen J.
