I bought this product a while ago. I still own it. I had to buy it for my class for reading assignment. This book is well organized. Although I had to get it for my school. I really loved the book. It was not boring to read. Most people buy this book because they have to for class, but its a great resource. I use it now as a review for my VTNE Pharmacology along side other resources as well. When I bought this book I already had a previous version but had to get the next one. I think this one is way better.
Very poorly organized. Would not recommend this textbook. Some chapters are very difficult to follow and it's unclear why the author chose to organize the material in the manner in which they did. I do appreciate the blue "technician notes" throughout the chapters that highlight the important points.
i actually really love this textbook. so informative and actually not boring. must have
Wish I had this book 25 years ago when I was in college. Great addition to my library.
nice to be able to get the books that I need at a great price and have them delivered promptly
arrived on time. very pleased
