Mechanisms of High Temperature Corrosion starts witht the basics of thermodynamics, followed by an up-to-date summary of experimental methods, many of which have not been covered in earlier books.
The usual topics, such as defect structures in compounds, are covered with great clarity.
Mechanisms of High Temperature Corrosion ends with numerous case histories which give a good basis for solving practical problems with the principles provided in the book.
