This book is an appallingly dull magazine article with each chapter a dull repetition of drug names, uses, contraindications, adverse effects.Written as though by a drug industry shill, the book condescends to include some information on herbal remedies but undercuts almost every one with vague warnings and statements that "research" shows this to be ineffective for... but then OMITS the research citation.Interestingly, in the chapter which includes discussion of malarial drugs, the book omits any mention whatever of the herb "Artemisia" (qing hao is the Chinese name) which DOES work against malaria and has been certified by the World Health Organization for that purpose.At every step, the most horrible side effects of the pharmaceuticals are dismissed with a wave of the hand as if it is OK that some drugs produce as side effects the very illnesses that they are supposed to be curing.Avoid this dull dumbed down long winded "advertising" brochure and try to find SOME OTHER book on pharmacology. Katzung is pretty good.
I recieved this book and it was stuffed in an everyday USPS envelope/cardboard! There was no plastic around it. There was no bubble wrap. As much as I paid for shipping you thing they would at least package it nice. Also the corner of the book was bent from all the man handling from the USPS or Vendor. The book was overall in good condition. It didn't looked used but I had to question it for a min. because of the package. This book is boring lol but that has nothing to do with the company that sold it to me. Four out of 5 stars.
