A concise Dictionary on Pharmaceuticals and GMP. With hundreds of Pharmaceutical, compliance, scientific and GMP explanations for engineers and scientists. Topics covered include cleaning, sterilisation, manufacturing, GMP, training. It is an essential reference for students of interested in the world of regulation and GMP and for anyone wishing to add to their technical library

At over 400 pages, this book introduces the area of Good manufacturing and compliance for Regulated industries (Medical devices, pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology). The opening chapter covers the basics- principles of GMP, how it applies to people, equipment, materials and processes. This is then followed with chapters outlining the key themes and areas that arise within the various industries or specialties. While many GMP requirements apply to all medical and medicinal products, some area's exhibit additional requirements and focus points when it comes to audits and GMP inspections. Each chapter is clear, concise and draws heavily on published guidance from the FDA and other regulatory bodies. This results in a well structured summary or road map that details key topics and technical points subject to inspection. The following chapters are included: Introduction to Good Manufacturing Practices, Preparation for Audits, Inspection of Quality Systems, During the Inspection, Biotechnology Inspection Guide, Medical Device Inspection Guide, Sterile Drugs Inspection Guide, Computerised Systems Inspection Guide and Cleaning Inspection Guide.

This concise pocket sized book provides an introduction to Depyrogenation tunnels and Sterile Barrier systems (Isolators) as used within the LifeSciences. It is the perfect introduction to engineers or those new to the industry who wish to gain a practical grasp of how Depyrogenation tunnels work, how development studies are performed and key points of validation. Isolator Barrier systems are also covered in the same fashion. An extensive glossary is also provided. (Page count 145)

When secondary school or university students are asked what they find hardest about studying English, the most popular answer by far is poetry. This book is the first poetry analysis guide intended for all candidates studying English at secondary and university levels. Importantly, it is a «pocket guide» ¿ concise and accessible. This means that all students will be able to find it useful, whether they happen to be struggling in the subject or trying to secure their own top-grade performance. The guide is organised into five short, reader-friendly chapters: an introduction, «Why is Poetry Difficult?», «What do Poems Mean?», «The Challenge of Poetic Form», and «How to Write an Essay on a Poem». Each of these chapters challenges particular misunderstandings about poetry while presenting some clear, practical strategies for how to analyse poems.

In discussions of American poetry since World War II, the work of John Berryman has become increasingly neglected and marginalized. Critics have overwhelmingly chosen to favour the notion that he is an academic, ¿establishment¿ poet whose career can comfortably be described as a move from New Critical traditionalism towards self-absorbed confessionalism. This study shows how such a narrow understanding of Berryman¿s work is reflective of a broader critical inclination towards a codification of the literary canon as a duel between competing factions of a formalist, establishment ¿mainstream¿ and an experimentalist, countercultural ¿avant-garde¿. By examining the extent to which Berryman¿s poetry engages with the complex religiopolitical climate of Cold War American culture, this study exposes the inadequacy of the paradigm of mainstream traditionalism in relation to his work. In doing so, it opens up threads of comparative possibility between his work and that of poets ordinarily segregated from him by divisive conceptions of the literary canon. As such, this volume provides a reconsideration of Berryman¿s work that simultaneously asks broader questions about the nature of the American poetic canon and established definitions of ¿postmodern¿ poetry.
