5.0 out of 5 stars Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, April 7, 2000
This review is from: Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic! It is the fourth edition of the popular textbook on biopharmaceutics. The authors have maintained the excellent standards of previous editions, by clearly explaining the concepts while keeping mathematical derivations to a minimum. The "practical focus" sections show the application of pharmacokinetics in a clinical setting. A new chapter on targeted drug delivery and newer biotech drugs is very timely and relevant. Overall, this is an excellent book on biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. It is recommended not only for the newcomer, but serves as a valuable reference in any library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful, June 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics (Hardcover)
I used this book as a help while studying for a pharmacokinetics course in pharmacy school. I found it to be of little use for this purpose.

Reading one chapter to learn a concept was not helpful as there was little focus on important details, just a lot of little picky information that really wasn't necessary. And looking up one particular piece of information was even difficult as vague examples and rambling sentences made reading the entire chapter a must.

As a review tool, the problems at the ends of the chapters were not helpful, either. The problems went from too easy to fantastically difficult with no in between.

As a student this wasn't a helpful reference or study tool.
