From the reviews: "The objective of this book is to present 'an integrated view linking pharmaceutics and the biological consequences to drug development decision making.' It is written primarily for those who work in the pharmaceutical industry applying biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, or interacting with formulation scientists. The book will also be useful for those in academic and research environments. It could be valuable for students of biopharmaceutics in undergraduate or graduate programs in pharmaceutical science, and should find a role as an innovative pharmD curriculum elective."
