Here goes the dump:
On perfume industry:
Chandler Burr - The Perfect Scent: A Year Inside the Perfume Industry in Paris and New York - the book that originally got me into fragrances. It is exactly what it says on the cover: an inside look at how mainstream fragrances (specifically Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermes and Lovely by S J Parker) are developed.
Jean Claude Ellena - Diary of a Nose J-C Ellena is the head perfumer at Hermes and a part time writer (and a hero of the previous book). This book is more about his personal reminiscences and thoughts about perfumes. He also gives an interesting list of cool fragrance recipes (accords) in the appendix
Jean Claude Ellena - Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent - by the same author. This book is mostly about the industry.
Denyse Beaulieu - The Perfume Lover: A Personal History of Scent This is an autobiographic book from a woman who reeeealy loves perfumes and managed to convinced a famous perfumer Bertrand Duchafour to make a perfume for her. Sometimes reads more like an erotic novel but a good book.
Perfume guides:
Luca Turin, Tania Sanchez - Perfumes: The A-Z Guide - a famous guide, very quirky and opinionated but their perfume descriptions are great fun to read.
Luca Turin's blog Turin is a famous perfume freak and olfaction scientist, he stopped writing, but the blog posts are available for download.
Chandler Burr - articles Burr is a self-styled perfume art critic, who writes for major newspaper and magazines. His articles make a good intro for a layman.
Barbara Herman - Scent and Subversion: Decoding a Century of Provocative Perfume This is about collecting antique perfumes. Reads a like a slightly edited collection of blog posts (which I think it indeed is).
Tessa Williams - Cult Perfumes A guide to niche perfumes. I suspect most of the text was written by the brands themselves, because sometimes it has a marketing blurb feel to it. Nevertheless it gives a good overview of major players.
The H&R Books (4 Volume Set) Book of Perfume, Fragrance Guide , Feminine Notes, Fragrance Guide, Masculine Notes, Guide to Fragrance Ingredients It doesn't say all that much about each perfumes, just the notes, but what it lacks in depth it makes up in breadth.
Michael Edwards - Fragrances of The World - another huge compendium. Don't have it myself, but looks very solid.
On general olfaction:
Chandler Burr - Emperor of Scent - it's about Luca Turin and his new theory of olfaction. I get the feeling that the technicalities are over the author's head but it's a fun read. Has a lot about fragrances as well.
Luca Turin - The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell the book by the man himself. Fun popular science.
Avery Gilbert - What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life A collection of popular sketches about olfaction, from Smell-o-vision to the way they train police dogs
Gunter Ohloff, Wilhelm Pickenhagen, Philip Kraft - Scent and Chemistry - I havent read it yet, but it comes with high recommendations.
I also have a bunch of books on perfume making, but these probably should go into a separate topic
As a process engineer here are some books i either use almost every day, or find very very useful:

Book 2
Book 3
Felder & Rousseau - Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes. Not only is there a good chance you will need this textbook sophomore year, it is also the most resourceful and widely applicable text I have. This should definitely give you a good feel for chem engr.
Yeah, OP is fabricating hard. For instance, the first one he mentioned is $1500 if you get the nearly 20-year-old first and, apparently, only edition. I doubt it's in use too many places right now.
Same with the chemical reactors book -- yeah, $600, but it's for a book from 1986, apparently. The environment one is from 2003. You get the idea. He's cherry picking like mad, and I don't think he's using current editions of anything.
This is the NukeE bible.
Nuclear Reactor Analysis https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471223638/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_66xXub0C52E8P
Your opinion is wrong. None of these references show any evidence whatsoever that cold fusion is a real phenomenon. Here are some references for where you can read about real nuclear physics:
http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Polymerization-George-Odian/dp/0471274003
I like this book by Odian as an introductory book for all polymerization topics.
Do you mean depolymerization or depolarization? I cannot find depolarization in the index. If you tell me a little bit more about what information you need I can tell you about how much information is in the book for you.
http://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-Reactor-Analysis-James-Duderstadt/dp/0471223638
Published in 1976, $189.60
To be fair, the book is definitely still worth the $200.
A very salient talking point, however such knowledge, while perhaps common place in the 1920s and 30's when dads taught kids about chemicals and explosives for fun, today even thinking of doing such a thing is irresponsible and evil, ergo people are woefully undereducated.
I used to think criminals were also pretty lazy which is why they preferred buying guns to making their own, but Ive been hearing about some homemade gun police hauls recently by criminals, so its possibly just a knowledge and tools block.
To the point that criminals dont even know they can make their own guns.
In a twist of irony, if this information became widely disseminated among the criminal class, it'd put the nail in the coffin of gun control forever.

Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes (co-authored by one of my professors)
Separation Process Engineering
Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles
Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (newest edition)
There were all of my texts from most recent to oldest that should have pertinent information to what all you're covering. I don't know where they would be covering parts 9-11 but I imagine that could be part of Separations.
Just get the book man... thats all u need honestly. I took the book and a few other support books (but this is honestly the only one i used) and i passed the first time.

Engineering Plastics Handbook
Injection Molding: Process Design and Applications
Though if you didn't already know, there are tons of books and articles and training resources available that you were not aware of as a student. Ask your colleagues or your supervisor if they have particular recommendations. A big part of your career is going to be finding this information yourself.
Good Luck!
Take the introductory ChemE class and come back to ask the question if you want to be a ChemE.
Most use this textbook:
https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Principles-Chemical-Processes-Richard/dp/0470616296/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
You see lots of UC freshmen enter and drop out of engineering.
Cal/UCLA are notorious, CHE 140 / 100 respectively weed out 80% of the class.
Think UCSB is CHE 10? Any gauchos can confirm?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0471274003 Principles of polymerization by Odian. It is pretty comprehensive, used it for several classes and for reference as a polymer/materials grad student. Does not show mechanisms for every reaction but does show quite a few and covers a lot of different classes of polymers in fair detail.
For Statistical physics I would second the recommendation of Pathria. Huang is also good.
For electromagnetism the standard is Jackson. I think it is pedagogically terrible, but I was able to slowly make my way through it. I don't know of a better alternative, and once you get the hang of it the book is a great reference. The problems in this book border from insane to impossible.
So that's the basics. It's up to you where to go from there. If you do decide to learn QFT or GR, my recommendations are Itzykson and Carroll respectively.
Good luck to you!
You may appreciate having this in your kitchen then.
Thermodynamics is usually covered separately from fluid mechanics. At least in chemical engineering, fluid mechanics is usually covered together with heat transfer and mass transfer, since they are all mathematically very similar, and can be grouped together as 'transport phenomena'. Fluid mechanics = transport of momentum, Heat transfer = transport of heat, mass transfer = transport of mass.
Anyway, if you are only interested in fluid mechanics, my favorite textbook is Middleman. For an entry-level textbook that covers all three, I like the W^3 textbook.
For more advanced transport phenomena, the de-facto standard is Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. A lot of schools actually use this for their undergraduate course, but I frankly think it's too difficult for an introductory text. For students that already know the fundamentals though, it's an excellent reference book.
For real graduate-level analysis, I really like Deen's book.
Caveat: all these textbooks are pretty expensive, and can run you close to $100 even used. There might be much less expensive alternatives that still teach the material well.
So the book I linked will in no way make you able to go out and obtain accurate measurements, its mostly post-measurements data understanding/manipulation.
This is the textbook I used in school for my class introductory course on radiation detection, interesting side note, when my mother was in college she used the third edition (I used the fourth). It goes over a lot of the theory behind detectors. It's a much drier read than the health physics book, and a lot more math. Detection requires a fair bit of math and a little electronics knowledge to understand, plus a good dose (hah) of understanding of radiation itself. Wikipedia can be a good source for a broad overview of the more esoteric types of detectors.
All this said, getting accurate measurements requires training and not just books.
By chemist, do you mean undergraduate or postgraduate? What year of study are they in? It'd be difficult to study statistical mechanics from scratch; make sure the following prerequisites are in order:
For an introductory level book, I quite enjoyed Bowley and Sanchez. They go through relevant ideas in probability already and the appendix covers up some of the mathematical prerequisites. Further down the line, Huang is an excellent book: it is significantly more advanced than the previous, but the contents is both broad and detailed (I still refer to it for topics like the 2D Ising model). At the same time, you could also consider Volume 5 of the famous Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz. The Course is famously hardcore, but it imparts mastery like nothing else.
That job sounds about right for an analytical chemist tbh. You asked for Books and I will give you books.
The all-around grand champion book for chemical engineers to have is Perry’s handbook.
In chemistry you did remedial thermodynamics in comparison to what chemical engineers are given, so I suggest this book as a primer in chemical thermodynamics. It covers phase equilibria, basic thermodynamics, and non-ideal behavior at a depth not seen in chemistry programs.
For heat and mass transfer I used this book in my undergrad. This is something that was almost certainly left untouched in your chemistry program.
For reaction engineering, I used [Folger’s book] (https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Chemical-Reaction-Engineering-4th/dp/0130473944/). You might recognize some of the constituent pieces, but this will bring it all together to solve for definite times and conversions.
More applicable to your direct job is process control. [Bequette's book] (https://www.amazon.com/Process-Control-Modeling-Design-Simulation/dp/0133536408/) will probably be one of the most directly important books on this list for you as far as process monitoring goes. And [this book] (https://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Synthesis-Processes-International-Engineering/dp/0132618125/) will give your insight into why processes are made the way they are.
The most important book in the list is [Process Safety] (https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Process-Safety-Fundamentals-International/dp/0131382268/). It is important that you understand what is and is not dangerous, along with what it and is not safe. You can skip the blast calcs, but do look at the TLV data, because that will come up for emissions.
This list is overbuilt and if you only have time for 3 pick the last 3 I listed and pick up a cheap Perry’s handbook for reference.
I used this textbook for a college course: https://www.amazon.com/Microbiology-Technology-Fermented-Foods-Press/dp/0813800188
It doesn't go in depth about food safety though. Seemed like it was geared towards R&D. For pathogens, you're probably better off referencing a dense food micro book like this: https://www.amazon.com/James-M-Jay-Microbiology-seventh/dp/B008VS0QYS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549487393&sr=8-1&keywords=modern+food+microbiology+7th+edition
Hydrogen!
https://www.amazon.com/Hydrogen-Essential-John-S-Rigden/dp/0674012526
Seriously, the simplest element is by far the most fascinating.
Vmax=(p•g•L^2 •sinΘ)/2•µ)
Where:
From Welty, Wicks, Wilson, & Rorrer pg. 95
Should be able to rearrange that to get what you need.
I'm a big fan of Polymers: Chemistry and Physics of Modern Materials by JMG Cowie, and Principles iof Polymerization by GG Odian.
For an undergraduate approach I recommend Schroeder. However, this book starts with thermal physics which is, well, a bit boring ;). The math is not hard, but developing that 'physics instinct' can sometimes be challenging.
For a more advanced, but very nice and systematic text, I recommend Toda, Kubo, et al.. Another graduate text is Huang.
There are also the books by Feynman and Landau and Lifshitz Pt. 1 (Pt. 2 is quantum field theory, which at this stage you probably will want to avoid).
https://www.amazon.ca/Analysis-Synthesis-Design-Chemical-Processes/dp/0132618125
This is the book I used while I was in school. My suggestion is to just go through your classes and let the knowledge come as you go through your classes and while/when you need it. Personally I can't learn if I am not going to use it or I have a project or exam about it. Good luck.
That's because they have 2 reference manuals that condense everything down:
https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Engineering-Reference-Manual-7th/dp/1591264103/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481981946&sr=8-1&keywords=pe+chemical+engineering
https://www.amazon.com/Perrys-Chemical-Engineers-Handbook-Eighth/dp/0071422943/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481981968&sr=8-3&keywords=perry%27s
How'd she do? I'm just about to start studying, taking the ChE PE in the spring
Many have said BSL, which is a good one. I also purchased Wwwr to study for qualifying exams and liked it
https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Momentum-Heat-Mass-Transfer/dp/0470128682
Also adding: if you are interested in the history of fermentation specifically, I recommend Microbiology and Technology of Fermented Foods. Even just the introductory first chapter has a lot of wonderful history of how fermentation may have developed as a food preservation technique.
Thank you for your time and for your kind answer!
As for the material, I've found this this and obviously the good old Kalpakjjian
Sadly during my MSc we gave just a brief glance to this type of manufacturing so I'm looking for some ways to "upgrade" my knowledge about the subject.
As for the part related I'm not talking about the HR side of the question but more about the work distribution process. Could you tell me what really helped you in this?
ps You are absolutely right about the CAM videos on YT there're many fantastic walkthrough that I'm following at the moment
I just happened to recently read Hydrogen: The Essential Element by John S. Rigden. Don't be fooled by the title, it isn't just about hydrogen. It's just that because hydrogen is the simplest atom, its study was involved in nearly all the discoveries of atomic theory in the 20th century.
That book was like being fondled by three fake-breasted lesbians compared to this one.
