Abstract
ALTHOUGH the authors limit themselves to American practice, their method of dealing with industrial processes from the engineering point of view rather than from that of the industrial chemist is generally applicable, and their choice of material is good. The amount of detail is carefully chosen to correspond with the limits of the work, and although quantitative data are given throughout, no attempt has been made to produce a book of reference. Numerical problems are given at the ends of sections, and there is a limited but useful bibliography. This book is one which should prove valuable to students proposing to enter industry, and the average chemical student will find it convenient in supplementing the information given in the usual text-books. The most modern developments in processes are described, and the illustrations are very good.
