Description
Book SynopsisOffers a visual approach to understanding both the basic science and clinical applications of pharmacology. Designed to be compatible and used in conjunction with other pharmacology resources, this book includes a presentation of the pharmacodynamic relationship between drugs and the human body.
Trade Review"Visual learners will love this unique book. Although I don't think this is an easy way to first learn pharmacology, there is no better resource for students to integrate all of the basic sciences into a meaningful understanding of how the human body works and how disorders of the human body can be impacted by drugs, after they have learned the basic actions of drugs. This is also an excellent resource for students to consolidate all their learned basic information prior to sitting for certification examinations and/or advancing into the clinical phase of their studies. Not only is this book scientifically accurate, it is a work of art. In addition to being an excellent learning resource, it also makes a very appropriate coffee table book to serve as a unique conversation piece for guests."-Thomas Pazdernick, PhD(University of Kansas Medical Center) Doody Review: 5 stars
