Great source to get the "skinny" on pharmacology
I have found this handy guide a great way to quickly get a grasp of lecture topics. It only takes minutes to understand the concepts, and saves valuable time by catagorizing the drug types for you. Stringer's style of writing in a conversation format is easy to read, enjoyable, and concise. In fact, I'm purchasing my own copy because it's too hard to find in the library anymore!
