This book discusses the emerging technologies applicable to fabricate drug delivery systems. There are several books related to the subject matter. Some of those are comprehensive, which include both current and traditional drug delivery systems. For example, Drug Delivery Systems (Advances in Pharmaceutical Product Development and Research), Tekade (Elsevier, 2020) presents all major types of drug delivery systems. On the contrary, the author of this book intends to present the current trends in drug delivery. However, this book could have included delivery technologies for biologics and continuous pharmaceutical processing. --Doody
