Chemistry without catalysis would be a sword without a handle, a light without brilliance, a bell without sound.

The history of catalytic technology has been reviewed by Heinemann (l98l), while Davis and Hettinger (1983) have edited a
volume that reviews selected histories of developments in heterogeneous catalysis with emphasis on those in the United States.
Laidlers text on kinetics ( I 987) includes biographical sketches of important contributors to the fields of kinetics and catalysis
research and technology.
