ABSTRACT
The purposes of this chapter are few and rather ambitious. First, to provide a sound perspective of bulk drug process work to the uninitiated and the relatively new practitioner, hopefully without prejudice to the benefit that the approach herein might afford to an experienced but still restless practitioner. All work in a forest that is dense and rich in its variety; it should be regarded from a vantage now and then, and it is from such a deliberately selected vantage that the chapter unfolds.
