Review of the hardback: 'The book shows a clear, multidimensional, geometric representation of distillation theory, which is applicable to all kinds of distillation columns for all splits, column types and mixtures … the book considers problems that are beyond the framework of the geometric theory of distillation but they still are of importance from both the theoretical and practical standpoints … contains many diagrams, which facilitate the understanding of geometry theory … intended for a wide variety of specialists …This book can serve as a manual for students and postgraduate who want to refine their understanding of distillation.'
