1: Surface Science by Hudson
The book is very experiment oriented and does not fulley explain the theoretical background of the topics in detail. For someone taking a first class in surface science, it fails to introduce the fundamentals of the topic in a systematic way. I'm a first year grad student and I don't recommend the book as an introduction to the topic. However, it deserves 3 stars because of its convincing explanations of experimental side of things.

2: Decent overview
With all due respect I disagree with the Corvallis writer.. I used the book during my postgarduate studies and it is a decent
intro into surface science. It does assume knowledge of crystallography, thermodynamics, atomic physics, and basic experimental surface study techniques; therefore it is not all that useful for undergrads in general. Thomas...

3: Horrid...
As a chemistry student trying to learn surface science, this book has done nothing but frustrate me. From the author's use of antiquated units, to horrid question writing, to lousy explanations, I would rather go into a laboratory blind than have this book guide me. To sum up, find another book if you aren't already an expert!
