Index.
"An essential purchase for all departments and institutions, academic or industrial, that claim an interest in any aspect of the field popularly known as biotechnology." Nature. "Comprehensive Biotechnology is just that. It is an exhaustive collection in four volumes of reviews of every conceivable angle of biotechnology. The volumes are extensively referenced and meticulously indexed. This set should be a standard purchase item for every college library and the libaries of most biology and chemical engineering departments." American Society for Microbiology News. "This set justifies the tag ' comprehensive' and one salutes the sheer energy and persistence needed to carry the venture through. It generally meets the key requirement of such a multi-authored treatise in being organized and structured. Given a field where diversity and an explosive development threaten to engulf those engaged in it, that is greatly to be welcomed." Process Biochemistry.
