Principles of chemical kinetics

This work is based on an earlier book, Chemical Kinetics: Principles and Selected Topics, by I. Amdur and myself. The untimely death of I. Amdur has prevented a joint revision, but the present book retains the same philosophy of presentation and organization. However, the many recent innovations in chemical kinetics, especially in gas phase dynamics, have required rather extensive revision of the earlier book. I am greatly indebted to Mrs. Alice Amdur and to the McGraw Hill Book Company for permission to use portions of the older text.
