From the reviews: "Clark ... has more than 40 years of experience in the field; this is evidenced by the significant practical engineering knowledge that he imparts in this book. The work describes thermal sterilization and nonthermal sterilization processes in detail. ... A good list of references, a glossary, and many examples are included. This book will be useful to professionals and can serve as ... a good textbook on food engineering. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical programming students." (L. E. Erickson, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)
