The purpose is to review the evolution of pediatric research as it relates to pediatric drug dosing, an extremely worthy goal. ... This book will meet the needs of these readers, particularly those interested in conducting research in children and students and clinicians who want to obtain a more in-depth understanding of dosing medications in pediatric patients. ... I am unaware of another book on this subject, particularly for individuals involved in developing and conducting research in this patient population. (Ina Lee Calligaro, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
