Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted a good reference book for our group library. Other books in this series are great, but this one is lame. Based on this book, I'd say these authors know nothing about pharmaceutical process engineering. Hickey expressed regret that the original version had gone out of print, I regret that he revived it. He presents a poor collection of unit ops with smudged 1950's style graphics. Your money will be better spent on McCabe or Geankopolis and a membership to ISPE.
Any minimal treatise on pharmaceutical process engineering descirbes how to identify critical process parameters that affect the critical quality attributes of the product, how to develop process flows, the engineering principles and concepts used to select the appropriate unit ops, and how to develop appropriate monitoring and control strategies. This book is sub-minimal.
Hickey's treatment of sterilization was a joke. I can't believe that the five or six lines he has on steam sterilization was all he could come up with. Since he obviously has never dealt with steam sterilization in pharma, he could've at least googled the subject so he could present something useful to the reader.
