Textbook (Hardcover - Fifth Edition)
Textbook Information
This text is the most comprehensive resource on the application of physical chemical principles in the various branches of pharmacy. It helps students, teachers, researchers, and manufacturing pharmacists use the elements of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in their work and study.
This edition thoroughly examines basic physical pharmacy principles, equilibria phenomena, kinetic phenomena, dispersed systems, and drug delivery, and relates the pharmaceutical sciences to biological phenomena. New chapters cover biopharmaceutics and bioavailability; molecular and cellular biopharmaceutics; transporters and metabolizing enzymes; molding and compaction; and drug delivery systems.
Significantly updated and revised review questions for each chapter are available in the book and on connection.LWW.com.

Description:This is the fifth edition of Martin's Physical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide students a comprehensive resource on physical, chemical, and biopharmaceutical principles to the pharmaceutical sciences.
Audience:This book is written for pharmacy students and students in the pharmaceutical sciences. The editor of this book is the chair of the department of pharmaceutics at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy in Rutgers, New Jersey.
Features:Each chapter begins with an outline followed by educational objectives. Concept boxes highlight important concepts and illustrative examples have been updated. Practice problems and answers can be found at the end of the book with additional problems online.
Assessment:The primary objective of introducing students to the physical chemical principles to the pharmaceutical sciences has not changed since this book was first published 35 years ago. This new edition however, reflects the pharmaceutical sciences at this point in time and would be a valuable reference to have.
