Dr J. Rick Turner, Co-Editor
Rick Turner, PhD, PGCE, MICR CSci, MTOPRA, is Drug Safety Scholar and Associate Professor of Clinical Research at the Campbell University School of Pharmacy, Research Triangle Park, NC. Dr Turner s initial academic career was in the field of Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine, conducting research at three US academic medical centers (the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Tennessee, Memphis, and the Medical College of Georgia). During this time he held professorships in Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Preventive Medicine. He published 50 peer-reviewed papers in top-tier journals (including "Annals of Behavioral Medicine" and the "International Journal of Behavioral Medicine"), and received two international research awards for his work in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine. He also published the first student textbook in the field of Cardiovascular Reactivity, and four professional edited volumes in the field of Behavioral Medicine. Two of these volumes were published by Springer, and one of them (Hayman LL, Mahon MM, Turner JR, 2002, "Health and Behavior in Childhood and Adolescence") received a Book of the Year Award from the "American Journal of Nursing." Previously, he was the founding Editor and Editor-in-Chief of the Sage Publications scientific book series "Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology" from 1997 to 2004 (as noted above, Dr Turner selected Dr Gellman to sit on the series Editorial Board).
Dr Turner s current interests are in the design, implementation, and analysis of pharmaceutical clinical trials, and in the field of drug safety. He has published three textbooks and multiple invited papers in these fields, and is regularly invited to speak at international meetings. His work in clinical trials has earned him two Awards from GlaxoSmithKline, and invited Memberships of the Institute of Clinical Research, the (British) Science Council, and The Organisation for Professionals in Regulatory Affairs. He is also a member of the Society of Clinical Trials and the Drug Information Association. He is particularly interested in the application of Behavioral Medicine principles in pharmacotherapy, e.g., how to improve adherence to pharmaceutical regimens, and how to minimize medication errors to the greatest extent possible."

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
