Customer Reviews

this is a book about pharmacology written in ENGLISH
If you are a SIMPLE student who is trying to grasp the basic concepts of pharmacology... look no further. I took this book, I am not a nurse, but a 1st year student of osteopathy at oxford. This book gently brings a very difficult subject into focus. It can be used as a base line to launch into greater studies. The tables are always going to be a reassuring reference point to 'touch base' with. The layout is clear, it is not daunting even for a student! If you are preparing for exams, well its a must. This book is a comforting, reassuring crutch to refer back to to confirm what you thought you really knew! Its an introduction to pharmacoligical academia without being pretensious. A comfort tool to let you know that you are advancing up the learning ladder. I like its lay out , the way it leads you deeper into the subject encourages the student to feel confident about going deeper.Anyone who, like me, is a little fearful of this subject, can be assured that the mist of non-comprehension becomes a little clearer with this book in your sweaty palm!
