Fix (mathematics, Clemson U.) looks at how fundamental science impacts the brewing of beer in an account that bridges professional brewing texts and standard texts on chemistry, biochemistry, and thermodynamics. The basic chemical pathways used by bacteria and wild yeast, chemical changes that occur during malting, and applying gas laws to carbonation and dispensation are among his topics. No date is noted for the first edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
