This book provide great insight and understanding into the drug development process from regulations, to step by step guide to drug development process especially to novice readers. This book was a great resource for class discussions pertaining to social factors in drug development in upper level liberal studies course. Case studies pertaining to the topics presented added more flavor to the topics being discussed."

This text provides a great scientific and regulatory overview of the drug development process. Depending on purpose of the text/class, I recommend pairing this with a text that focuses more on worldwide regulatory aspects since this focuses more on scientific discovery and development

Good review of topics, could be expanded a bit.
