review text: The author uses the kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method to examine surface reactions. The kMC method is applicable to any system which can be represented as a set of minima of a potential energy surface. The evolution of this set can be described as jumps from a minimum to a neighboring one. This kMC method allows to simulate the jumps as stochastic processes using random number algorithms. The author formulates two goals of this book. The first one is to show that the kMC method can also be applied to phenomena other than surface reactions. Secondly, the reader is informed of what kind of surface-reaction kinetics could be examined with the help of kMC simulations. The book will be of interest to students and newcomers in the field of surface reactions.
