This series of books has been developed through a collaboration between the Open universiteit of the
Netherlands and University of Greenwich
(formerly Thames Polytechnic) to provide a whole
library of advanced level flexible learning
materials including books, computer and video
programmes. The series will be of particular value
to those working in the chemical, pharmaceutical,
health care, food and drinks, agriculture, and
environmental, manufacturing and service
industries. These industries will be increasingly
faced with training problems as the use of
biologically based techniques replaces or enhances
chemical ones or indeed allows the development
of products previously impossible.
