Summary
Summary
People thinking of going into entertainment or politics have plenty of memoirs to suggest what to expect, complains Kletz, but not so those thinking of going into chemical engineering, or chemistry, or other kind of engineering. So he sets out a brief account of his career, which happened to span the revolution in attitudes about process safety that began in the late 1960s. Distributed in the US by American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
