4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This 12th edition of the most authoritative book in pharmacology is the best both in content and physical appearance....This edition of Goodman & Gilman's continues to be the most authoritative and widely used resource bridging the discipline of pharmacology with therapeutics. Moreover, readers will find this edition to be substantially improved from past editions in both content and physical appearance."--Doody's Review Service

The most universally respected and read medical text in all of pharmacology, Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics represents the pinnacle of authority and accuracy in describing the actions and uses of therapeutic agents in relation to physiology and pathophysiology. Goodman & Gilman’s careful balance of basic science and clinical application has guided thousands of practitioners and students to a clear understanding of the drugs essential to preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease.

Enriched by a new full-color presentation and updated to reflect all critical new developments in drug action and drug-disease interaction, the twelfth edition includes more than 440 color illustrations depicting key principles and actions of specific pathways and therapeutic agents. The companion DVD includes all the images and tables in the text along with narrated animations.

Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 12e is divided into nine sections, covering:

  • General Principles
  • Neuropharmacology
  • Modulation of Cardiovascular Function
  • Inflammation, Immunomodulation, and Hematopoiesis
  • Endocrine Pharmacology
  • Gastrointestinal Pharmacology
  • Chemotherapy of Infectious Disease
  • Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases
  • Special Systems Pharmacology

More than a textbook, Goodman & Gilman's is a working template for the effective and rational prescribing of drugs in daily practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect..., Aug 30 2011
By Dr. Dale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
This is indeed the go to book for medicine questions, be you pharmacist, physician, medical student, nurse, nursing student, or whatever. I have been using it for years and will continue to do so.

That being said, there is one quirk that I wish McGraw Hill would fix. With at least two editions I've owned, including the current one, there is an annoying, unexplained switch from a normal font to a very small font. The small font seems to come on without warning, and for my eyes it is very difficult to read. This morning, for example, I was reviewing digoxin. The introductory paragraphs were easy to read, but for unknown reasons the section on adverse effects (and the section following that) was in the small print. Why would you want to make something this important more difficult to read? This change to small font occurs seemingly randomly throughout the text, and is extremely aggravating.

As I age, I will continue to go to Goodman and Gilman for reference, but I hope as my eyes age future editions will eschew this exasperating practice of tiny fonts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gold-standard, Mar 8 2011

This review is from: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
This is the gold standard for pharmacology textbooks, no questions. Excellent update on the last edition. Multi-media is a bit complicated. Would have preferred having online access instead, but can't get it all.
100% tell all my colleagues/fellow students to consider purchasing.

This review is from: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)
This book reviews everything in pharmacology with the same quality forever since I began my studies in pharmacology in 70's. I recommend this book for undergraduate and post-graduate students, physicians and any other professional in health area.
