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

Customer Reviews:
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.
Customer Reviews:
Necessary text.......2002-09-16
This book contains more useful information in one place than any other source for chemical engineers. If your are in the feild or are a student, you will find this book to be necessary for almost any job. I recommend it to all chem-Es.
Wealth of Knowledge.......2000-03-25
Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook is the definitive source of reference for any chemical engineering problems I've encountered. As a student I find that there is more information than I whould know what to do with. The handbook is organized in a slightly confusing manner at times, which would be its only drawback. Any chemical engineer would be at a great loss without this book.
Product Description
The most widely recognized sourcebook on infectious diseases provides detailed, accurate, informative text for public health workers in official and voluntary health agencies, including those serving in the armed forces and other governmental agencies, and for all students of medicine. Each listing is easy to read and includes identification, infectious agent, occurrence, mode of transmission, incubation period, susceptibility and resistance. The 18th edition of this text is available, for the first time, online. Translations into several languages-currently Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Serbian, Indonesian and Italian make this text a global treasure.
Customer Reviews:
Very useful.......2007-09-28
Recommended by my teacher, I bought this to get ready for a career in epidemiology. Since then, it's never failed me.
Control of Communicable Diseases Manual.......2007-03-08
This is excellent reference material that should be on the shelves of anybody in the Public Health field. Actually, anybody who wants a quick description of any communicable disease should consult this book. I purchased my first edition in 1974, which was the eleventh edition published in 1970, and several communicable diseases have been discovered since then, therefore, you will find that you will want or need to purchase every edition of this book. It is published every five years.
good info.......2007-02-08
The binding of the book fell apart after a few times the book got used. but information wise it's a great reference.
Best Communicable Disease Book.......2007-01-10
This is the best communicable disease book that I know of that is extremely handy if you are in the food service business or a health inspector. It is updated periodically so that the most current diseases are included.
The bible of communicable diseases.......2007-01-03
This is one of the handiest medical references you could ever own.
All communicable diseases are listed in alphabetical order. Each disease is discribed in the same format...
Identification
Infectious Agent
Occurrence
Reservoir
Mode of transmission
Incubation period
Period of Communicability
Susceptibility
Methods of control
Also listed are pseudonyms.
The 18 edition while written in 2004 includes a 18 April 2006 update on Influenza.
For anyone involved in the medical profession, this book will provide the most concise and pertinent review of communicable disease.
I dare say that this text combined with Sanford, will be the only I.D. resources 99% of medical professionals will ever need.
Customer Reviews:
A great resource to have in your deployment bag.......2006-03-13
If you're in the military, work for an NGO, or are about to do a medical school rotation in a developing country, this is a great resource to throw into your bags. I bought this book without knowing there was a more recent edition (and paid a lot more than some of the current used prices). The newest edition has pictures and has some of the most up to date information on leishmaniasis and malaria, but for a few bucks you can get a used edition of this and still have more than 95% of the information remain relevant and useful.
This is One of My Favorite Books!.......2002-02-23
i've read the previous edition and this one cover to cover. you just open a page and read whatever disease is there. i love this book! for anyone in the field & students of, it's a must have!
i'm waiting for a new edition because i heard the Guinea Worm was eradicated since the last publication.
control of communicable diseases manual.......2001-09-22
This book is an absolute necessity for anyone involved in infection control or infectious diseases. It is perfect for
a quick reference - I keep nearby when I am working and refer to
it often.
Great Book.......2001-05-31
I bought this book to study for a sanitarian examination. This book was excellent. It covers mode of transmission, vectors, clinical symptoms and classification. I strongly suggest this book to individuals in the field of environmental and consumer safety.
A "must" have.......2000-07-09
This is one of the most useful books I have seen. Each chapter of this book summarizes each infectious disease briefly, and comprehensively, including its ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. The main focus is on public health response to the event of one case, for uncommon diseases, or the event of a cluster of cases for those more common infections. It is particularly useful for people working in the public health field such as health departments or researchers. However, it is also very handy for clinicians that want to know how to react in front of diseases that may not be common anymore. Specially useful is the chapter on surveillance and reporting. If you want to have one good and simple consulting book on infectious diseases, "Control of Communicable Diseases Manual" is the book you should own.

Book Description
With intensive use of DDT, tropical diseases were greatly reduced during the fifties, but not eradicated; in fact, they have come back again--with the vector insects having developed an increased multiple resistance to most chemical insecticides. The high doses of chemicals have caused a deep contamination of the environment, dangerous both to man and animals. The use of environment-friendly materials for vector control is now essential and has initiated an intensive search for new biological factors that will support or replace some chemical treatments. Based on the Collaborating Center's many years of experience in vector pathology, it will help field workers with different aspects of field handling of interesting new pathogens and parasites, serving as a field guide for an intensive search for new and effective organisms. Sections discuss: transportation, storage and evaluation of field materials; characterization of pathogens; parasitoids and predators of vectors and more.
