Provides the physiochemical background to the design and use <strong>of</strong><br />
pharmaceutical dosage forms.<br />
_________________________________________________<br />
UNIQUE BENEFITS:<br />
- Viewed as having more rigorous scientific content than the competition and being stronger on<br />
chemistry<br />
- The extension <strong>of</strong> the segregation <strong>of</strong> basic text and more complex theory in the new edition will<br />
make it easier to use<br />
- The inclusion <strong>of</strong> key points boxes and further worked examples should be attractive to students<br />
CHANGES TO THE NEW EDITION:<br />
- Completely new chapter on pharmaceutical nanotechnology<br />
- New clinical pharmaceutics examples<br />

READERSHIP:<br />
Primary: undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy students<br />
Secondary: research workers in the pharmaceutical sciences e.g. the pharmaceutical industry<br />

REVIEW OF THE MANUSCRIPT<br />
‘I have always been very happy with <strong>Physicochemical</strong> <strong>Principles</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong> as the "gold standard" text in this<br />
area. The revisions suggested seem perfectly reasonable and should lead to increased uptake <strong>of</strong> this excellent<br />
book by pharmacy students, while still allowing readers who need the full scientific details to quickly get the<br />
information they need.’ Lecturer in Pharmaceutics, Queen’s University Belfast<br />
‘This book has numerous illustrations, charts, and graphs which help visualize difficult concepts…This is truly a<br />
book <strong>of</strong> physical pharmacy and not just a book on physical chemistry with some added pharmacy topics.’<br />
Thomas Jacobsen, Pharm.D., M.S.,R.Ph.(GlaxoSmithKline) 4 stars and 96 out <strong>of</strong> 100)<br />
