A. Chaston Chapman, president of the Institute of Brewing, wrote this nifty little (measures 5.00 x 6.75) hard cover book in 1912 as a synopsis of the state of scientific applications in brewing. It was published as part of Cambridge University's "Manuals of Science and Literature" series. Chapman complained that the brewing industry hadn't been given it's share of credit for advances made in science, and this book was one attempt on his part to correct that. In his preface, he wrote, "It may be said without exaggeration that in respect of the number of scientific investigations of the first order of importance...the brewing industry stands easily pre-eminent among the industries of mankind, and that without the stimulus furnished by...the brewing of beer, both chemical and biological science would probably be the poorer to-day."
