Title: A "new" book on surface science.
Review: This book was written by five participating authors. It is not better than Hans Lüth's book, "Solid surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Films", but maybe of comparable quality. However, the authors did a fairly good job in general.The advantage of this book is that it is written a few years ago and contains a lot of information regarding the developments, innovations and new techniques of surface science. The schemes and charts are well-drawn and well-presented. The photographs of some instruments and experimental results are especially useful and make this book better in some sense. The image qualities and resolutions are very fine.There is a good balance between theoretical and experimental discussions. The references are very beneficial for detailed studies. In general, it is a very well-written book, something you expect form Springer Verlag.
