As stated to the Foreword of the first two volumes in the Drug Manufacturing
Technology Series of applied reference books, these books
are intended to be practical, focusing on how to perform the
processes and tasks covered. The series is not planned to be a continuum
of closely related topics in pharmaceutical processing;
rather, it is a series of topics that may be quite varied but of current
interest to practitioners in their respective fields. Consequently, this
third volume varies in subject matter from the first two but covers
a timely subject, "Pharmaceutical Unit Operations: Coating."
