Editorial Review Product Description Process engineering can potentially provide the means to develop economically viable and environmentally friendly technologies for the production of fuel ethanol. Focusing on a key tool of process engineering, Process Synthesis for Fuel Ethanol Production is a comprehensive guide to the design and analysis of the most advanced technologies for fuel ethanol production from feedstocks. It describes how process systems engineering can be applied to fuel ethanol production to achieve new levels of efficiency according to technical, economic, and environmental criteria. Drawing on the authors’ more than 15 years of process engineering and ethanol research, the book first focuses on liquid biofuels, before examining the role of process synthesis in the rapid and high-tech analysis and design of complex biotechnological processes. It then describes various types of feedstocks, including sugars, starchy crops, lignocellulosic biomass, and microorganisms, as well as hydrolysis technologies, such as saccharification. The authors cover the fuel ethanol production technologies for different feedstocks, the new technological innovations based on process integration to reduce energy consumption, and the environmental issues of bioethanol production. They also discuss the technological configurations for fuel ethanol production in the industry and the possible factors affecting food security with fuel ethanol production and consumption. Supported by case studies that include calculations and discussions of results, this book uses a process engineering approach to explore the analysis and development of fuel ethanol production from different feedstocks. It shows how accurate analysis and precise design, along with responsible government policies, can lead to fair and sustainable development of energy crops worldwide. |

Editorial Review Product Description In The Business of Bioscience, What goes into making a Biotechnology Product you will be introduced to key aspects of the biotech and product development process. This includes: the characteristics of a biotech entrepreneur, legally establishing your company, raising all forms of capital, selecting development milestones, dealing with personnel issues, the significance and impact of a business model, market strategies and their impact on raising money, regulatory compliance issues, and why you must manage differently at different organizational life stages. Each chapter provides helpful background information yet quickly moves to in-depth discussions of these subjects so that those with more experience in these areas will also benefit. Knowledge is essential for success, and most biotech entrepreneurs are very knowledgeable; however, a distinguishing difference between a good biotech leader and a great biotech leader is having wisdom—the ability to apply specific knowledge at the right time, in the right situation. This aspect is an overarching theme of this book. The Business of Bioscience As you read The Business of Bioscience, you will learn the mechanics and business strategy of how to establish and grow a life science company. You will come away with an understanding of the expectations of biotech investors, and gain insight that will equip you to raise the needed capital for your company. Because securing funding for a biotechnology company is a crucial requirement if one hopes to have any opportunity for success, two chapters are devoted to multiple aspects of the fundraising and financing process. There is literally not enough capital available to fund all good ideas; this book provides the reader with an edge by outlining the expectations of investors and teaching what constitutes a fundable company. The future of a start-up biotechnology company is heavily dependent upon the choices made at critical junctures. The consequences of various choices sometimes seem subtle but can have a dramatic impact on the future direction of a company. Therefore, it is essential that the biotech entrepreneur gain expansive working knowledge in all areas of business, market, and product development. In this book, you will learn the technical information coupled to strategy fitted into a context of the "bigger picture". All biotechnology companies will experience seemingly insurmountable challenges at some juncture but success can also be found through creativity and persistence; the author appropriately covers a rarely discussed but important topic, "When do you call it Quits?" This book provides practical information directly applicable for building a biotech organization and developing a product through to commercialization regardless of how small or large a company. The information in The Business of Bioscience will help guide entrepreneurs and their teams through rough spots and help them avoid many detours along the way.

Editorial Review Product Description Listen to a short interview with Robert Paarlberg Heading upcountry in Africa to visit small farms is absolutely exhilarating given the dramatic beauty of big skies, red soil, and arid vistas, but eventually the two-lane tarmac narrows to rutted dirt, and the journey must continue on foot. The farmers you eventually meet are mostly women, hardworking but visibly poor. They have no improved seeds, no chemical fertilizers, no irrigation, and with their meager crops they earn less than a dollar a day. Many are malnourished. Nearly two-thirds of Africans are employed in agriculture, yet on a per-capita basis they produce roughly 20 percent less than they did in 1970. Although modern agricultural science was the key to reducing rural poverty in Asia, modern farm science—including biotechnology—has recently been kept out of Africa. In Starved for Science Robert Paarlberg explains why poor African farmers are denied access to productive technologies, particularly genetically engineered seeds with improved resistance to insects and drought. He traces this obstacle to the current opposition to farm science in prosperous countries. Having embraced agricultural science to become well-fed themselves, those in wealthy countries are now instructing Africans—on the most dubious grounds—not to do the same. In a book sure to generate intense debate, Paarlberg details how this cultural turn against agricultural science among affluent societies is now being exported, inappropriately, to Africa. Those who are opposed to the use of agricultural technologies are telling African farmers that, in effect, it would be just as well for them to remain poor. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description Simon and Kotler explain in clear nontechnical prose how innovation in the new biosector will be driven by a web of cross-industry collaborations, and in particular by three transforming forces: information technology, consumerism, and systems biology. With timely industry cases, the authors demonstrate that by capitalizing on these forces, companies from Hitachi and Siemens to Amgen and Pfizer could become the biotech leaders of the coming decades. The chapters on building and sustaining biobrands are the centerpiece of this indispensable book. Simon and Kotler present a powerful framework that will enable any manager to redefine and transform traditional models into a new branding paradigm: the global "targeted" model as an alternative to the global "mass market" model. The authors illustrate how each of these models has proven successful in launching such blockbuster drugs as Viagra, Lipitor, Rituxan, and Gleevec. Relevant to all industries impacted by biotechnology from consumer goods to industrial products, Building Global Biobrands is essential reading for every manager, marketer, analyst, and consultant who must understand the Biotech Century.

A Good Read!
A wide and clear-sighted Bio-Business panorama
Outstanding and Insightful
A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF BIOTECH AND PHARMACEUTICAL MARKETING Though not biological scientists, Simon and Kotler impart their treatise with a savvy academic outlook blended with lessons learned in the consulting arena.The authors show an amazing scholarship. They combine knowledge derived from personal acquaintance with key players in the biotechnology and classical pharmaceutical industry with an understanding of the medical applications and implications of drug therapies to weave a rich tapestry of a very complex topic. Their view ranges from: to the techniques used to maintain brand franchises as patent protection is lost. (Over-the-counter Advil remains a viable brand.) They are able to keep readers' interest high by providing concise and lively vignettes of many developments in the history of drug introduction and marketing. Among these, they cite: The future appears to be in the realm of biotechnology with strong BigPharma participation. Whatever the new environment, the basic principles of marketing described in this volume will hold true.
Building Global Biobrands: de rigueur for biotech business The book spans the value chain, and offers insights at several levels.I suggest anyone with an interest in the biotech world -- venture capitalists, regulators, entrepreneurs, pharmaceutical company executives, individual investors -- have a reference copy.You will find it to be invaluable! ...
