This massive volume with a most appropriate title will lead the user to say: ‘I read, I understand modern trends, I will apply’.

What are the problems of scale up flow reactions? How much palladium may there be in the over-the-counter drug ibuprofen? What are the major caveats for a chemist using transition metal catalysis? among many other questions.
