This book is so comprehensive. I can't begin to tell you what a valuable tool this is. For example, for heart medications, it breaks them down into actions such as anticoagulation drugs, antiarrhymics, vasodilators, etc. I recommend this book for anyone in the medical field who wants to know more about medications.
Cheers to Susan M. Turley for creating a pharmacology book that does not put you to sleep. This book is very informative and teaches in a non-professor like manner. The information covers everything from basic pharmacological knowledge to advanced. The style of the author makes this book fun to read and easy to understand. This book is a must for all those in the health profession.
At first I thought this textbook was going to be the same old medical textbook that made no sense. This book, however, is exactly the opposite; the author of this textbook has made the content easy to understand and has also added silly pictures and comics to keep the student engaged. I think this book is great for anyone going into pharmacology.
Rented this book for a class. I found this book enjoyable, especially with all the side bits of information. Book arrived as expected and quickly. I thought about buying it out instead of returning it. The buyout cost was more than the book was worth as the book had obvious wear and tear. If the book was better condition I would have considered it. Would have been cheaper to return it and buy a newer copy. Regardless, still a great book with great information.
This was the book used for a college pharmacy class and I really enjoyed it. I walked away feeling knowledgeable on the history of medicine and the use of medications today. I was glad I could rent it because buying it would have cost me a lot more money.
I purchased this book for a class in college, but I find myself referring back to this book quite frequently. It has a lot of helpful information beyond the classroom setting. This was one of the more enjoyable classes I have taken.
The book is great! It is very interesting and it makes pharmacology fun to learn. The book has a lot of pictures that really help to make the reading easier and more interesting.
I bought this used, and I'm happy the person who had it before me took such good care of it. The cover is bent, and the paper isn't the strongest but for the price I paid and the timely service it's not much of a complaint. This book has a bunch of amusing tangents in the text so it's actually quite enjoyable to read with concise chapters.
