The book comes with a code to use online resources, including access to the textbook online. I find it extremely helpful to have this textbook at home for reading and studying, but it is very heavy. If I need the text away from home, I log into the website and view the textbook online. The online textbook is searchable and you can select by page number as well. So, I actually like the online features. Note: you have to buy the book NEW to get a unique access code for the online features.
I agree with the others that the online version of this book is crap, however the book itself explains pharmacology in a manner which is easy to understand and also without loads of unneeded details. I highly recommend the book for APN prescribers!
The overall content is thorough and includes valuable explanations and tables. However, this book needs a better editor!!! It is miserable reading through all of the typos in the writing and errors in tables. I stopped to write this review in the middle of reading because back to back sentences spelled a drug name totally different. My book is filled with written in corrections. I've found myself having to utilize other sources to verify that the typo'd sentences contain correct information. Each chapter has different authors, and some have proven to be better writers than others. Good information in this book, but be prepared to stumble over many typos.
The online version is worthless. Lippincott and Davis both use this same awful online book technology. VitalSource/ Pageburst is much better and so is Adobe digital editions. Also the book advertises animations for the online portion and the website says "coming soon". Well, too late for me. They should give us access to the resources for the previous edition since this one has none.The book seems OK as far as pharmacology textbooks go, but they get major negatives for having an awful online companion site.
The online version of the book is not useful at all, and of course requires an Internet connection. Also, the online version does not allow for text-to-talk, which does not aid those who need this accessibility function (ie. those with vision impairment or who are auditory learners). Also, accessing the online book is a convoluted mess, and is not very intuitive. Other than the major online book issues, the print version is informative, but it would be nice if key terms were in bold.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BUYING NEW WITH THE ACCESS CODE. My rating has nothing to do with the seller (). It has everything to do with the book. If you are not buying this as a requirement for a class, DON'T GET IT. The online resources are not resources at all. Unless you are verified through F.A. Davis as a full time faculty at a college or high school, the "resources" online are not helpful AT ALL. Instructors get access to test banks, power points, lectures, and a multitude of other great learning tools but there is barely ANYTHING available to students. A couple case studies and 5 animations... THAT IS IT... FOR THE ENTIRE BOOK. There is really no reason at all to splurge full price for the book with the access code because it's horrible. The online content for every other textbook I've bought has been incredibly helpful... test questions, summaries of every chapter, power points, lectures, etc. This really helps you to learn the material after reading. Apparently F.A. Davis doesn't care about the student learning... only the faculty that can't come up with their own questions and power points.
Online resources are terribly lacking. Power points and practice questions are locked away under an instructor code. The text itself has very few illustrations with mid-1990's graphics. Quality text books use illustrations to enhance and promote learning. Bullet points and margin notations for emphasis. An endless list of techniques to promote assimilation of material. The reader is clunky and miserable. I will avoid all future Davis purchases. Glad I rented this instead of buying it, however it is unlikely to be even worth the rental price.
Good book for school as needed. Arrived on time
