    History of metals and it has been looked on as a menace which destroys metals and structures and turns beauty into a beast. Our human civilization cannot exist without metals and yet corrosion is their Achilles heel. Although familiarity with corrosion is ancient, it has been taken very pas sively by scientists and engineers in the past. Surprisingly, it is only during the last six decades that corrosion science has gradually evolved to a well-defined discipline. Corrosion Science and Engineering is now an integral part of engineering curriculum in leading universities throughout the world. With the rapid advances in mate rials in the new millennium, the demand for corrosion engineering courses has dramatically increased. This has necessitated the need for the publication of new books. Professor U. R. Evans, Prof. H. H. Uhlig and Prof. M. Fontana wrote a classical generation of basic textbooks covering the fundamentals of corrosion science and engineering. These books served as texts for decades and some of the mare still being used. Several new books in corrosion have been published in recent years tocaterto the needs science and engineering students. As a teacher of corrosion engineering for the last twenty-five years, I found the material to be deficient in corrosion engineering content. However, sufficient coverage was given to the understanding of corrosion science and engineering
