Reviews

''A well written and interesting text."
-- Doody Publishing

''This small, condensed book provides an excellent introduction to pharmacology...valuable to new pharmacology students, and also to students and specialists of other disciplines who require a fast understanding of mechanisms and clinical uses of drugs...Its conciseness and clarity is aided by clear, explanatory diagrams...the author's aims was "to provide an introduction to the sciences of pharmacology...," to my mind, these aims have been achieved very well.
--Trudy L. Knight, BTS Newsletter

''I found the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter useful and hopefully students will also.
-- Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology
