Principles of Pharmacology PDF

I have taught Medical Pharmacology for 25 years and I hate pharmacology textbooks. In general they give lists of drugs with poor explanations of how drugs act in the human body. To supplement these poor descriptions they add miserable graphs and tables. The underlying basic science of drug action is often left to the reader to find elsewhere. I usually go to a physiology textbook to find the needed physiology, a biochemistry textbook to find the needed biochemistry, or a neurobiology book for the needed neurobiology. I do realize the difficulty in writing a textbook for this subject. Pharmacology is a collection of basic sciences. So how does one put a book together that gives the needed basic science background, the principles of drug action, and keep the book shorter than a Tolstoy novel? Purchase Golan's Principles of Drug Action and find out! This textbook is what I have wanted for many years. The reader is given concise descriptions of the relevant background for understanding the action of the differing groups of drugs. This book is just what a medical student really needs. I now have a textbook that I can heartily recommend to my students. Congratulations and many thanks to the authors of this fine resource!

This book is a beacon for anyone studying pharmacology, biochemistry, or biomedical research. Contents are well organized and comprehensive. Excellent writing, unequivocal and clear; even people with basic college knowledge in biological sciences or chemistry can understand it. I strongly recommend this book as the "bible" for pharmacology. Several useful charts are given at the end of each chapter to illustrate all the pharmaceutical compounds, targets, and mechanism of actions; as well as their adverse effects. Moreover, it has excellent figures that make the reading bearable and graspable.
