I can't imagine any situation where I would have read this book except that it was required for a class. Given that, it covers the topic very well and as of winter 2011 is only slightly outddated. Most of the chapters in the beginning are very specific, with a lot of information on molecule identification. The last three chapters are most useful, covering the big picture of ethics and the fact that all this information isn't doing pharam as much good as one might have thought.
