This Flexibook is ideal for students of all levels with its complete coverage of the structure & composition of biologically relevant molecules & their metabolism.

"This excellent and most reasonably priced guide is essential reading and a valuable reference source" (The ROSPA Occupational Safety Health Jnl. March 2002) The Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry outlines the problems and issues facing the environmental chemist throughout the ecosystem. Presented as a ?pocket-atlas?, this useful guide provides a concise overview of environmental pollution in air, water and soil as well as strategies for environmental analysis.  Unique format with text and illustrations on facing pages Clear, full colour schematic diagrams making up 50% of the book A ?must-have? for undergraduates/graduates in this field

"Written by engineers for engineers (with over 150 International Editorial Advisory Board members),this highly lauded resource provides up-to-the-minute information on the chemical processes, methods, practices, products, and standards in the chemical, and related, industries. "

This second edition Encyclopediasupplies nearly 350 gold standard articles on the methods, practices, products, and standards influencing the chemical industries. It offers expertly written articles on technologies at the forefront of the field to maximize and enhance the research and production phases of current and emerging chemical manufacturing practices and techniques. This collecting of information is of vital interest to chemical, polymer, electrical, mechanical, and civil engineers, as well as chemists and chemical researchers. A complete reconceptualization of the classic reference series the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing and Design,whose first volume published in 1976, this resource offers extensive A-Z treatment of the subject in five simultaneously published volumes, with comprehensive indexing of all five volumes in the back matter of each tome. It includes material on the design of key unit operations involved with chemical processes; the design, unit operation, and integration of reactors and separation systems; process system peripherals such as pumps, valves, and controllers; analytical techniques and equipment; and pilot plant design and scale-up criteria. This reference contains well-researched sections on automation, equipment, design and simulation, reliability and maintenance, separations technologies, and energy and environmental issues. Authoritative contributions cover chemical processing equipment, engineered systems, and laboratory apparatus currently utilized in the field. It also presents expert overviews on key engineering science topics in property predictions, measurements and analysis, novel materials and devices, and emerging chemical fields.
