This is the sort of book that one might expect to receive as a "freebee" from a drug company representative. For $..., it is very overpriced. Considering that for around the same amount of money, one can buy a very thorough medical dictionary, this "book" falls short. Save your money and apply it towards a "real" text.

As a newcomer to the pharmaceutical industry, this book has helped me to understand the jargon that is everyday language for clinical research associates. Explanations are presented simply.
