Book review ## Homogeneous Transition-metal Catalysis -a gentle art; by C. Masters. Chapman and Hall, London and New York, 1981; x + 277 pages, hardback & 20, paperback % 9.50. This little book is an excellent and authoritive introduction to its subject. In the "Sciences Paperbacks" series it is also excellent value for the individual chemist's library. Homogeneous catalysis is a growth area. It has provided some highly important processes to the petrochemical and plastics industries and now is entering the pharmaceutical. Its great advantage over heterogeneous catalysis, still by far the most important in industry, is its capacity to be tailored to catalyse selectively the desired reactions. Thus it seems likely that further generations will have to look even more to homogeneous catalysis to provide economically from coal, or eventually from carbon dioxide, the heavy organic chemicals now based on oil. The author shows himself to be well versed in both the theoretical and industrial aspects of his subject. His first chapter (37 pages) gives a comprehensive and not too detailed overview of the basic principles of heterogeneous catalysis leading directly into an excellent review (18
