Olefin Metathesis by K. J. Ivin was published in 1983. Olefin Metathesis and Metathesis Polymerization provides a broad, up-to-date account of the subject from its beginnings around 1960 to the latest applications in organic synthesis.

It is assembled along the same lines as the earlier book so as to be useful to both teachers and researchers and will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, organometallic chemistry, catalysis, materials science and chemical engineering.
