Although the literature contains a very large number of research articles concerned with the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions involving solids, there are comparatively few authoritative, critical and comprehensive reviews of the formidable quantity of information which is available. Probably the most important general account of the field is the book Chemistry of the Solid State, edited by Gamer [63]. Chapters 7—9 are particularly relevant in the present context as they provide a systematic exposition of the kinetic equations applicable to the decomposition of single solids (Jacobs and Tompkins [28]) and their application to endothermic [64] and exothermic [65] reactions. 

No unifying theoretical concepts have been recognized which can be used to provide satisfactory criteria for the comprehensive classification of the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions involving solids. Thus the scope and treatment of the subject cannot be entirely systematic. General problems encountered during any attempt to review the field include the following. 

Readers should also have gained some appreciation of how to design and conduct their own mechanistic investigations, even though experimental techniques per se were not emphasized. They will also have come to appreciate what data should be gathered to supplement the kinetics. There are many tricks of the trade on the practical side, only some of which I have cited. Many precautionary measures were mentioned here, and a further source is Pitfalls in Kinetics [Bunnett, J. F. In Investigation of Rates and Mechanisms of Reactions, 4th ed. Bemasconi, C. F., Ed.
