In this book the author presents an up-to-date summary of existing information on the structure, electronic properties, chemistry and catalytic properties of transition metal oxides. The subjects covered in the book can be divided into three sections. The first (chapters 1 to 3) covers the structural, physical, magnetic, and electronic properties of transition metal oxides. Although the emphasis is on surface properties, relevant bulk properties are also discussed. The second section (chapters 4 to 7) covers surface chemical properties. It includes topics that describe the importance of surfac

Should people be allowed to do everything that they are capable of doing? This question is posed in connection with new technologies, such as genetic engineering, or with human interventions in nature, such as the clearance of primeval forests so that the land can be used for agriculture. Intuitively everyone answers this question with a definitive „No“: no way should people be allowed to everything that they are capable of doing.This also applies to everyday actions.Many options in daily life, from lying to minor deception, from breaking a promise up to going behind a friend’s back, are
