"The aim is to describe the role of the discipline of clinical pharmacology in drug discovery. ... The intended audience is faculty, researchers, and advanced students from academia and the pharmaceutical industry who are learning about or involved in the process of drug discovery. ... This book provides a multitude of very useful insights about the successes and failures in drug development for scientists who are, or will be, involved in the process of drug discovery." (Thomas L. Pazdernik, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
