Abstract
IN this monograph the authors have given a survey of a very wide field. Colloid systems play an impertant part in our daily life ; in the opganisms of all living plants and animals these systems are fundmental, and in the industrial manufacture of foodstuffs, clothes and so on, the colloid properties of matter are one of the corner-stones on which such a production has to be founded. Evidently, knowledge about the behaviour of colloid systems is of outstanding importance to many categories of people. Therefore it is very pleasant to find that a monograph has appeared in which a description is given of the experimental methods used in colloid science and in which colloid systems are discussed from modern points of view.
