Michael Curtis is a Reader in Pharmacology, King's College London, Rayne Institute, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, UK
"A nice text to read and revise from with some excellent
illustrations. The illustrations in this book were superb, some of
the best I have seen! They were clear and colourful and
complemented the text brilliantly. The font size was also good,
being rather larger than some other texts on the market - great for
a quick reference - and certainly laid-out in a modern, readable
way."
BMA Awards 2007 "...I think this is fantastic. It really is an
'integrated' pharmacology book...I liked the way that while it goes
into detail on the pharmacology, it also talks about the relevance
to the clinical setting, giving a really good understanding of
where these drugs will fit into patient treatment. I particularly
liked the boxes which highlighted points to consider when selecting
drugs for an individual patient. I'll certainly be using this book
a lot when revising for my finals."
Medical Student, University of Dundee, UK "Pharmacology can be a
daunting subject matter to comprehend, but the authors, with their
clear, concise, and understandable writing styles, have made the
book a pleasure to read and look at...Highly recommended."
