Summary: An excellent guide for the student or professional.
Review: Bioprocess Engineering is an excellent reference for anyone interested in biotechnology. It begins by introducing the cell, enzymes and major metabolic pathways and then moves into an analysis of growth kinetics and stoichiometry for both wild type and genetically engineered cells. Then the theme turns to the design of bioreactors and the basics of product recovery and purification.Overall, the book provides an excellent overview of bioprocess engineering. The text is simple to read and is based upon the basic systems that would be encountered in the real world. The examples demonstrate how to solve problems via multiple approaches and the graphs provide an excellent reference. More advanced sections lay out problem solving techniques for more challenging systems.

Review: im going to use this book the next semester in the univesity of puerto rico, mayaguez campus, and i need a copy of it to be sure, if this one is what I want. If you can help i'll be glad of you

Summary: VERY GOOD BOOK IN THE SUBJECT
Review: This volme I have purchased yesterday from the local Book Seller. I had gone through first three chapters. Since I am teaching Biochemical Engineering to my Undergraduate and Post Graduate students for last three years, I understand this volume is very much helpful in addition to some volumes I have in this subject like, Biochemical Engineering by Humphrey, Aiba and Millis (Academic Press), Fundamentals of Biochemical Engineering by Baily & Ollis (Mc Graw Hill). However, in teaching the tutorials in this subject, an instruction manual consisting of solution of unsolved problems given at the end of each chapter of the book would be very much helpful. I have collected a such instruction manual (solutions to unsolved problems given in the Fundamentals of Biochemical Engineering)(Gift copy) from McGraw Hill Publishing Company . I hope any such volume might be available for Bioprocess Engineering by Shuler and Kargi. If so, I would appreciate for detail information and way to procure it. It will not only help the teacher but the students as well.

Summary: Good, but has glaring flaws
Review: This was the book for my introductory bioprocess engineering course. I felt it covered the quantitative areas, such as enzyme kinetics, bioreactor design, stoichiometry, etc.., quite well. However, the qualitative sections, such as DNA replication, metabolic pathways, and cell function, etc.., are explained way too quickly and lightly for someone with little or no training in Biology. Upon reading a few pages into one of these qualitative sections, you quickly find the author throwing terms at you that he never defined (to be fair, it would take an extra 100 pages to define all of these terms). Also, the text has some really unfortunate typos, typos so severe they may actually hinder your learning (subscripts change for no reason, two different constants given the same symbol, etc.) Biology folks will be happy, but ChEs with no knowledge of Biology may want to stick to the section on bioprocess engineering in Fogler.
