The 15 chapters updating the out-of-print late 1960s text, Unit Processes in Pharmacy, cover such topics as heat and mass transfer, crystallization, size reduction and classification, sterilization, and bioprocessing. Hickey teaches at the School of Pharmacy at the U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and is the president and CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Ganderton, with a Ph.D. from the U. of London, directs a pharmaceutical company in Bath. c. Book News Inc. ER -
