Corrosion Science and Technology
暫譯: 腐蝕科學與技術

距離首次出版已經二十年，《腐蝕科學與技術》仍然是對於材料科學感興趣的學生和專業人士的重要實用指南。本書第三版徹底涵蓋了腐蝕科學的基本原則，以與前一版相同的易讀方式，使其成為無價之寶，並擴大了內容的範圍，新增了有關各種金屬的處理過程和新技術的章節，以限制成本和金屬劣化，這些在前幾版中並未探討。本書還介紹了專業開發的腐蝕測試和預測方法。

David Talbot graduated with a B.Sc and an M.Sc. from the University of Wales and a Ph.D. from Brunel University for research on gas-metal equilibria. From 1949 to 1966, he was employed at the research laboratories of the British Aluminium Company Ltd., contributing to research promoting the development of manufacturing processes and to customer service. From 1966 to 1994, he taught courses on corrosion and other aspects of chemical metallurgy at Brunel University and maintained an active interest in research and development, mainly in collaboration with manufacturing industries in the United Kingdom and the United States. He was a member of the Institute of Materials and had chartered engineer status; he served as a member of the council of the London Metallurgical Society. Dr. Talbot wrote many papers on chemical aspects of metallurgy, a review on metal-hydrogen systems in International Metallurgical Reviews, and a section on gas-metal systems in Smithells Reference Book.

James Talbot graduated with a B.Sc. ARCS, from Imperial College, London, and received his M.Sc. from Brunel University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Reading for research on the physical chemistry of aqueous solutions and its application to natural waters. Dr. Talbot worked at the River Laboratory of the Institute of Freshwater Ecology, Dorset, United Kingdom, where he assessed and predicted physical chemical changes occurring in river management, He has written papers on the speciation of solutes in natural waters. From 2000 to 2006, he was a lecturer in materials research chemistry at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom, where he specialized in the physicochemical aspects of corrosion, polymer science, and process science. He is presently a chemist with interests in species specific corrosion mechanisms. Dr. Talbot is a current member of the Structure and Properties of Materials Committee of the Institute of Metals, Minerals and Mining. He has published in the fields of corrosion, polymer chemistry, solution chemistry, and the chemistry of natural waters.

大衛·塔爾博特（David Talbot）於威爾斯大學獲得理學士（B.Sc）和理學碩士（M.Sc），並在布魯內爾大學獲得博士學位，研究主題為氣體-金屬平衡。從1949年到1966年，他在英國鋁業公司（British Aluminium Company Ltd.）的研究實驗室工作，為促進製造過程的發展和客戶服務做出了貢獻。從1966年到1994年，他在布魯內爾大學教授腐蝕及其他化學冶金方面的課程，並持續對研究和開發保持積極興趣，主要與英國和美國的製造業合作。他是材料學會的成員，並擁有特許工程師資格；他曾擔任倫敦冶金學會理事會成員。塔爾博特博士撰寫了許多有關冶金化學方面的論文，並在《國際冶金評論》（International Metallurgical Reviews）上發表了有關金屬-氫系統的綜述，以及在《斯密斯參考書》（Smithells Reference Book）中撰寫了有關氣體-金屬系統的部分。

詹姆斯·塔爾博特（James Talbot）於倫敦帝國學院獲得理學士（B.Sc. ARCS），並在布魯內爾大學獲得理學碩士（M.Sc.）。他在雷丁大學獲得博士學位，研究主題為水溶液的物理化學及其在自然水中的應用。塔爾博特博士曾在英國多塞特的淡水生態學研究所（Institute of Freshwater Ecology）的河流實驗室工作，評估和預測河流管理中發生的物理化學變化。他撰寫了有關自然水中溶質物種化的論文。從2000年到2006年，他在英國克蘭菲爾德大學擔任材料研究化學的講師，專注於腐蝕、聚合物科學和過程科學的物理化學方面。目前，他是一名化學家，對特定物種的腐蝕機制感興趣。塔爾博特博士是金屬、礦物和採礦學會材料結構與性質委員會的現任成員。他在腐蝕、聚合物化學、溶液化學和自然水化學等領域發表了多篇論文。
