5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up!

Very well written and easy to understand; good information for the beginning chemical engineer. Not comprehensive by any means but a great starter. Surprisingly there are quite a few tables in the back of the book for a number of common chemical species that might prove useful in the future.

Only problem is that it almost has too much information to pack into one semester! Would definitely recommend.

Great and easy way to get books needed for college. Made buying books so much easier and affordable. Also receive e-mails to sell back the book which is nice. Not ready to sell it but nice to have that option.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book overall, but not without flaws.
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2014

I think this is an overall a good book, but I have two complaints about it.

The first is from a learning perspective, the author makes things NEEDLESSLY complicated in some situations. Where there is a more straightforward way to do some things, the author will describe it in a more complicated and much less intuitive manner than it could be taught. Two examples that come to mind are deriving the temperature conversions (on pg 61), where rather than simply recognize a linear relationship and using a point slope form of a line to determine the conversions, he instructs to set up a system of equations instead. Another example is similar in the two point linear interpolation (pg 23) where he gives some funky formula for determining the line between two points rather than the simple point slope line formula that everyone already knows from high school math. I'm only through chapter 5 so far, so there may be more, but why make things more difficult than they need to be?

The second complaint is the author must have a some kind of backroom deal with Perry the way he is constantly advertising for Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook. That is just an annoyance.

Other than that though, this is a good all around text and I have learned a lot from it so far. The test yourself portions in each chapter are a good way to make sure I understand before proceeding further, and the creativity exercises presented in some of the chapters are a great way to stress the importance of brainstorming new and unique solutions to problems, a skill which I think will be helpful as a practicing engineer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pro's and Con's

But mostly con's. I've been using this text for nearly half a semester now. The information is very useful, but if you have to use this book, be prepared for alot of ambiguity in the problem statements. My average homework score is about a 94%. My review isn't based on not understanding the text, just on the problem statements.

Actually the discription and the way the book is explained is very good. Unfortunately the solutions are kept very short and they are partly wrong. But for a basic understanding quite good.
