Synopsis

Modern biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field which deals with the practical use of microbial, plant or animal cells to produce goods or perform services for industry, trade and commerce. It is a symbiotic integration of aspects of several subjects whose literature is presently scattered among many specialist publications. Written and organized by the world's foremost biotechnology experts, this publication is be the most authoritative work of its kind. It provides information essential to researchers and students in academic, industrial and government institutions. It is also indispensable to personnel in manufacturing and service industries, particularly those involved with pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages, fuels, chemicals, waste treatment, agriculture, mining and medicine.

A fine addition to Pergamon Press' series of Comprehensive...titles. The four-volume set is coherently arranged and well indexed, and the scientific and engineering credentials of the writers and editors are excellent. The set is easy to use; each volume contains an index to the full set, a glossary and the contents of the other volumes. The subject coverage is comprehensive. Highly recommended for comprehensive graduate collections in biology and essential for any biotechnology collection. For small colleges and large public libraries. -- Choice
