Mcgraw Hill Chemical Engineering Series

The document summarizes the history and evolution of the McGraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series. It describes how 15 prominent chemical engineers first met over 60 years ago to plan a continuing literature for their growing profession. This led to the submission of a report in 1925 detailing specifications for over a dozen texts, which became the foundation for the McGraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series and the chemical engineering curriculum. The series has since evolved far beyond the original scope, standing as a unique record of the development of chemical engineering education and practice. McGraw-Hill remains committed to continuing to lead the needs of the profession through the literature.
