| Résumé : |
“… A truly amazing amount of highly condensed information has been packed into the 39 chapters, which would be very valuable to anyone who wishes to obtain a good resumé of any particular process industry. Since the treatment had to be brief in every case, the author has provided at the end of each chapter an excellent list of references for those who wish to delve more deeply into each field. Another useful feature is a collection of short, relatively simple problems at the end of a number of the chapters. The place for such a book as a textbook for beginning students of chemical engineering is a debatable one and depends on one's philosophy of chemical engineering education. Some teachers, including the present reviewer, do not see the value in presenting the student with such a large amount of descriptive information, but prefer to devote most of the very limited amount of time available for chemical engineering in the undergraduate curriculum, to applications which more directly and quantitatively illustrate and develop fundamental principles. However, many schools believe strongly in a largely descriptive course in the industrial processes, and for use in such a course Dr. Shreve's hook is one of the best the reviewer has seen. In covering so broad a field, the author has perforce been obliged to treat a good many subjects in which his own experience is quite limited, and small errors are bound to creep in which would be noticed only by the expert in a given field. On the whole the book seems to be quite accurate and free from major errors which could very easily be made in a book covering such a subject.” |
