Books by Felix Franks

This book will provide an understanding of the behavioural properties of water which is fundamental to gaining an appreciation of many scientific processes and principles.

Cold is the single most important enemy of life, and this book, first published in 1985, discusses the responses of living organisms to low temperatures. Subfreezing temperatures in particular affect the properties of water, which is essential to life, and the book describes the physics and chemistry of water in the context of physiology.

Aimed at product and process developers in the biopharmaceutical industry and academia, this is the first book to describe freeze-drying, as related to the pharmaceutical industry.
