Good book with exercises which are not so good., Mar 10 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Clinical Pharmacokinetics: Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)
Clinical pharmacokinetics is a good book for students and researchers interested in learning the basics of pharmacokinetics. It has some positive points like the "definition of symbols" at the begining of the book, which help a lot when you forget what's the meaning of them. It also has good figures and tables (although some of them need corrections)and the text is most of the time easy to understand (but not always...). On the other hand, the exercises are not very helpful and some of them require a lot of thinking (more than you usually need to solve most pharmacokinetics problems encountered in real life situation). They also extrapolate the information teached in each chapter and this can make you feel really bad after having so much work to read the chapter. Anyway, I do recommend this book for interested students and researchers, always keeping in mind the limitations of its exercises.
