Customer Reviews

great CD!

The CD is great! It is full of songs that are amusing and the lyrics teach me a lot.

Hearsay

I'm taking this class right now. My prof said that this text is even better than the one he (my prof) wrote. He also said there's an interesting backstory to this text: apparently Newnan wrote the book and no one would publish it, so he published it himself. I'll write my own review at the end of the semester.

Clear, easy

Very clear explanations. Found it really easy to understand and apply to my own business. You could breeze through this book in a week by spending a few hours on it a day.

Change of Pace

This book explores a whole different side of chemical engineering. Useful as a reference but some of the problems are extremely difficult. Overall good book

An excellent resource.

This is a well written text on the subject with the subject matter well presented. Another feature is the CD. Excellent spreadsheets.
