Here is Volume 1 of the Academic Press's 1979-1982 "Brewing Science" edited by J.R.A. Pollock.

From the dust jacket of Volume 1: "It is intended that this volume and the subsequent volumes now in preparation should provide a comprehensive account of the present position of brewing science and its development. With the advances made in analytical techniques since 1950 a greatly improved understanding of the biochemistry and microbiology of the operations of brewing has emerged. It is chiefly these developments that the three volumes aim to chart. Each chapter is a definitive work in itself and each author an authority in a special area of knowledge about brewing. Where papers deliberately overlap in content, the aim is to highlight areas which are still contentious in the hope of stimulating more research. This first volume is concerned with the raw materials involved, their composition and analysis. The second will deal with the conversion processes, immediate products and yeast. The third volume will discuss the beer itself. Despite these divisions, however, the volumes are meant to be read as a whole. Though some understanding of the chemical and bio chemical aspects of brewing is required, these books will be indispensable to all breweries, malting and their suppliers, and institutions concerned with brewing science. They are bound, also, to be of interest to individual beer makers."

CONDITION: Very Good. Dust jacket is present and shows only minimal edgewear. The book itself is extremely clean. Inside front cover has signature and bookplate of a former owner. Otherwise, inside pages are clean. Binding strong and tight.
