This book doesnt deserve a professional review... So here is my quick spill on why this is the worst text book I have ever read. Dr. Edmunds' book contradicts itself, is inconsistent, and the layout is ridiculous... it seems as if Im reading a novel instead of a textbook. Study test questions should be included or at least a study guide one could buy separately. The only thing bolded throughout this book are the headings. This is sooo HARD READ... In grad school, one needs a book that can easily be skimmed over and over again...I waste so much time trying to pick out important information and I get annoyed with reading her opinions instead of facts. Additionally, the same concepts are constantly repeated throughout different chapters. This should not be a required textbook for anyone and I do not suggest buying this for supplemental textbook for another pharm class. It is unacceptable to consider this a textbook.Yes, this is the first time I have starred/written a poor review. Have never given less than 3 stars. I can usually find something positive. I hope this review saved others the disappointment of purchasing for supplemental use. And for those of you who are required to buy this for pharm, my deepest sympathy. Rent instead and purchase anything else to supplement for pharm ( promise it will be more useful than this).Update after being required to use this for 3 months:I dislike it more than I initially thought. Tried to use it to reference a med for a pediatric case study. Not only could I not find what I was looking for quickly, I could not find it at all. I cannot believe this is the 4th edition.... what mistakes did the first 3 contain?
