ENLARGED
INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY by
Emil Raymond Riegel Professor of Industrial Chemistry, University of Buffalo IN
t h e latest edition of this nationally famous textbook on industrial chemistry,
t h e high s t a n d a r d s set in the three previous editions have been consistently maintained.
Aware of the war-imposed need for a volume which would include the
latest developments in such strategically i m p o r t a n t fields as s y n t h e t i c rubbers, s y n t h e t i c fibers, explosives, chemical warfare a n d petroleum, to mention only a few, t h e a u t h o r has been particularly p a i n s t a k i n g in presenting these subjects completely, yet briefly, so t h a t the reader m a y grasp the essential p o i n t s with a minim u m of effort.
T h e greatest care h a s been exercised t o include all material bear-
ing on t h e p a r t being played b y industrial chemistry in winning t h e w a r ; a t the same t i m e t h e thoroughness with which t h e fundamentals of s t a n d a r d practice were described in the earlier editions has n o t been diminished.
T h e latest production
figures a r e given in all t h e industries discussed, a n d the most recent developments a r e featured. I n line with present trends toward conservation of materials, t h e wordage on each page has been slightly increased, so t h a t although the fourth edition contains t h e same n u m b e r of pages as t h e third, there is actually t h e equivalent of 75 additional pages.
In spite of this increase a n d of rising costs of m a n u f a c t u r e , it h a s
been found possible to offer this edition a t a slight reduction in price.
T h i s fact is
eloquent testimony to the success of its predecessors. Besides its wide use as a text in h u n d r e d s of colleges a n d secondary schools t h r o u g h o u t the Americas, this book is a n indispensable requirement for reference in high schools, public libraries, a n d industrial laboratories. I t is essential not only to the s t u d e n t entering upon t h e field of industrial chemistry, b u t t o engineers, plant supervisors a n d business m e n who wish a quick access t o t h e o u t s t a n d i n g developm e n t s in fields other t h a n their i m m e d i a t e interests.
