Quoted
"While most of my students would not find this excellent work "basic", it is an outstanding adjunct to any healthcare professional's library. The chapters are well structured and the information is up to date. The illustrations have improved over the years and are mated well with the text. In all, this is a worthwhile text for anyone studying pharmacology or a useful resource."
