Customer Reviews

Good book.

This book was needed for my Pharm and Tox class. It was a pretty good book it explained this quite well. The images and metaphors were really good. I recommend this book for people who need to lean this subject.

Excellent book

This book is required material for some classes in veterinary technology at Purdue University, and with good reason. Pharmacology can be a rather tedious subject, but Dr. Bill's book explains both the normal physiology as well as the mechanisms of drug activity in a well-organized, easily understood way. The book is divided into chapters dealing with different systems of the body (i.e. drugs affecting the respiratory system), and each chapter ends with a list of the drugs mentioned in their different categories, as well as a self-assessment to test how well you understood the drugs and the basic processes. Excellent textbook/student resource! I can now look forward to learning pharmacology with excitement instead of trepidation!
