An unbeatable resource.......2006-11-08

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook handbook is really a mixed bag, and how useful it turns out to be is really a matter of what kind of information you are looking for. I've always felt that this is the definitive book if you want raw facts and numbers. The entire volume is crammed with technical data that, for some, can't be found elsewhere. All the groundwork is covered; conversion factors, symbols, kinetics, interdisciplinary studies (several), thermodynamics, and just about anything else that coincides with the field of engineering. On a personal level, I've used it on several occasions when collecting field data, but its uses go well beyond that. For the sheer amount of information covered, the volume remains fairly well organized, and never veers too far from what you are researching.

The downside is that it can often seem overwhelming to students or those with passing involvement or interest. Despite the dependable presentation, it can be difficult to understand for people who haven't been brought up to speed on the variation of the topic they wish to examine. Even though the all the data is present, understanding it won't be easy until you've familiarized yourself and comprehend the tables and usage. Some claim that the book was written primarily for academics, though I don't see that as true. Anyone can use the book effectively once they get the hang of it.

Even though it might have some drawbacks, I truly can't see how anyone in the field of Chemical Engineering could not have this book on their shelf. It is the ultimate source of chemical data and interdisciplinary studies. If you don't yet own this one, I really can't see how you can go wrong in purchasing it.

This is so funny.......2006-04-21

Check out what that kid wrote on October 25, 1999. He gave the book one star. Someone find him and tell him how much of an idiot he is. He wrote the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Who the hell reads Perry's cover to cover. Is he really that dumb just go buy a book about making bombs if you want to "make bombs". Another thing any normal person would realize after the first million pages is that Chemical Engineers don't learn how to make bombs. what a retard. Oh yeah, good book

Good service.......2006-02-02

I got the book in a very short time and the process was also quick. 2 years ago, I had a problem with an Amazon affiliated store and took me such a long time to get my money refunded but this time, Amazon did a great job.

Thank you for shipping in time!

Practicing Professional Feedback.......2005-12-28

Well, I have used it a couple of times for / during many of our field assignments, where we needed authentic information. The charts & tables contained in it are highly useful

Great Professional Handbook on CD.......2005-10-07

To receive the CD in such a short time from the US to Belgium was already a surprise.
For our consultancy job in safety risk analysis this CD of the handbook is a Must to have it always available for look-up.
Thanks

Book Description

Now published in its Second Edition, the Textbook of Clinical Trials offers detailed coverage of trial methodology in diverse areas of medicine in a single comprehensive volume.

Praise for the First Edition:

"... very useful as an introduction to clinical research, or for those planning specific studies within therapeutic or disease areas." BRITISH JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Vol. 92, No. 2, February 2005

The book’s main concept is to describe the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine. It separates the information by therapeutic area because the impact of clinical trials, the problems encountered, and the numbers of trials in existence vary tremendously from specialty to specialty. The sections provide a background to the disease area and general clinical trial methodology before concentrating on particular problems experienced in that area. Specific examples are used throughout to address these issues.

The Textbook of Clinical Trials, Second Edition:

Highlights the various ways clinical trials have influenced the practice of medicine in many therapeutic areas
Describes the challenges posed by those conducting clinical trials over a range of medical specialities and allied fields
Additional therapeutic areas are included in this Second Edition to fill gaps in the First Edition as the number and complexity of trials increases in this rapidly developing area
Newly covered or updated in the Second Edition: general surgery, plastic surgery, aesthetic surgery, palliative care, primary care, anaesthesia and pain, transfusion, wound healing, maternal and perinatal health, early termination, organ transplants, ophthalmology, epilepsy, infectious disease, neuro-oncology, adrenal, thyroid and urological cancers, as well as a chapter on the Cochrane network

An invaluable resource for pharmaceutical companies, the Textbook of Clinical Trials, Second Edition appeals to those working in contract research organizations, medical departments and in the area of public health and health science alike.

Download Description

"A comprehensive volume on clinical trials that covers all important disease and therapeutic areas together with methodologies, phase I/II/III studies and other issues.

The volume catalogues the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine and discusses the developments and practice of medical statistics. Cancer, cardiovascular disease, dermatological, dental, mental, ophthalmic health, gynaecology and respiratory diseases are all discussed in separate chapters, with discussions on outcome measures, competing risks and statistical models given for each therapy area.

It also presents:

A history of clinical trials

CD is a waste of time...........2006-11-02

OK- it's Perry's! Standard Perry's... there no phenomenal extra features... the packing is fairly nice though.. BUT the CD.. I cannot get the CD to self run- I can't get it to work period!!

I would give the damn thing 10 stars.......2006-04-21

If you are a Chem-E and don't own this book then you might as well kill yourself, or switch to mechanical.

The CD doesn't replace the hardcopy.......2006-03-20

The platinum edition is perfect - CD and hardcopy. While the CD doesn't replace the hardcopy it is very handy for it's portability and the accuracy of the 'active charts'.

The book is much more user friendly than the CD and if you can only afford one or the other then I'd recommend buying the book.

It can be quite difficult to find things on the CD version and it is slower than it needs to be as it always works off the CD drive (copying the CD onto the hard drive isn't an option).

perry's chemical engineers - very good deal.......2006-02-25

great deal!
i recommend it for anyone

Convenient for labs.......2005-10-06

The hardcopy Perry's is a fun bedside table read for chemical engineers, and makes an excellent review manual. But it is bulky and heavy to lug around to labs or study rooms, and so the CD's that are part of this edition are first rate tools to load on your laptop so that Perry's tables and measurements in searchable format( the next thing to 'The Force' that there is a for chemical engineers) is aways with you. Excellent item, and fortunately Amazon had it at an attractive price. It is a bonus to also have the hard copy. Good item to have for your 3d year forward, and essential for grad students or working engineers.

Seminal Work: The Principles of Green Chemistry.......2003-11-19

This is the seminal reference on the widely invoked "12 Principles of Green Chemistry." This book is written by cofounders of the EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award,": a Synthetic Chemist and an expert in Environmental Policy. This book is unique in delivering a broad purview of industry practices as it pertains to the environment in a succinct manner. This is enabled by the distillation of the "12 Principles" which is an excellent organizing scheme. A key finding is the interdependency of the Principles and how they drive improved business performance for adopters.

"The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry" is invoked as a mantra for a revolution in the practice and methodologies of synthetic chemistry by research centers and innovators throughout the world. Driving even a few of these principles into practice has become a furtive source of product and process innovations in the field. The text is often cited in technical papers and thus a key reference book.

The narrative is accessible while providing rich examples ripe for follow-up investigation by technical readers.

Book Description

This book represents first non-edited book on the subject of metal catalysed reactions in ionic liquids and covers the literature from its origins until early 2005. Following a general introduction to the field of biphasic/mutliphasic catalysis, the synthesis, functionalisation and fundamental properties of ionic liquids relevant to catalysis are described. In the ensuing chapters catalysed reactions are discussed according to their type, encompassing hydrogenation, hydroformylation, oxidation, C-C coupling reactions, metathesis, dimerisation, polymerisation and more. Trends, generalisations, advantages and disadvantages of ionic liquids for specific reaction types are discussed. Specific processes such as supported ionic liquid phase catalysis, continuous processes using CO ₂ extraction and nanoparticle catalysis are covered. The book should be of interest to all those working in catalysis/green chemistry, in particular, to advanced level undergraduate and graduate students and all those researching or contemplating research in bi- or multiphasic catalysis using ionic liquids.

Outstanding book in electronics manufacturing.......2002-11-04

This is a very special book!
The focus of this book is on leadfree soldering: from chip-level interconnects, IC packaging, printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, to PCB assemblies. It provides many useful information and engineering data related to leadfree soldering. These include: design, material selection, process development, equipment selection, manufacturing, and reliability of leadfree soldering. I found these information very useful for my job as an R&D engineer.

This book is very unique!
Even it's focus is on leadfree sodering, however, this book talks about the major problems created by leadfree soldering. These include halogen-free molding compounds for plastic packages and halogen-free epoxy resins for PCBs. This information helps me to design my electronic and photonic products so they can withstand the leadfree soldering environments.

This book is wonderful!
One of the alternatives to leadfree soldering is to use conductive adhesives. This book talks about this very important subject in great details. I enjoy very much in reading the technical contents underlining this technology.

Overall, this is a great book! I would like to recommend to everyone who is working in electronic and optoelectronic products. Hats off to the authors for writing such a comprehensive handbook on leadfree soldering. Congratulations!

Just a nice Handbook on Leadfree Soldering.......2002-10-14

I like this book very much! This is the most comprehensive Handbook to leadfree soldering I have ever seen. I learned a lot from this book and it is very useful for my jobs. I carry it with me when I am at work. I open this book when I have problems, and it can always help me find the solutions. I recommend this book to all the manufacturing engineers and managers who are designing and making electronics products.

Industrial Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition

ASIN: 3527302891

Book Description

In this textbook, designed to be used with classic texts of organic chemistry at the undergraduate level, or standing alone for more advanced students, the two experts, M. M. Green and H. A. Wittcoff bring together the principles and the practice. Written for students, while also giving much information that may be used to enhance teaching of the subject, the book's ten concise chapters combine important commercial and practical processes with the principles of organic chemistry. The result is a source of otherwise barely accessible information. In addition, personal anecdotes from the authors' vast experience make this a fascinating and indispensable textbook for everyone wishing to enhance an appreciation of this subject.

Customer Reviews:

Very entertaining and interesting.......2006-07-11

If you have a contempt for organic chemistry, don't buy this book. It's not for you. You are not worthy.

This is not a book about understanding organic chemistry. It's not a review book. It's not a text book.

It is a supplemental book that brings organic chemistry into real life. It's not dumbed down. It's real stuff. Very, very interesting. I would suggest it to go alongside an organic course as an additional text. Perhaps one to be discussed during recitations. Perhaps only for the 'in major' organic students.

If you hate organic, stay away from this book. It's too good for you and we have no time for your whining.

How come there's no '0-star' rating?.......2003-12-05

This book solidified my contempt for the subject of organic chemistry. No wonder it's so cheap. The book is so confusing, it's content so lacking...where did the authors buy their degrees?

great book to increase your knowledge of organic chem.......2003-11-04

I highly recommend this book for anyone who has taken a semester or more of Organic and wants to know where and how the principles learned are applied in the real world, in the chemical industry. I found that discovering how the concepts of organic chemistry are used in the industrial world, and the history behind them, helped me appreciate and remember them much better.The writing style is excellent and keeps you engaged and interested throughout the book.
