  This is a concise textbook of modern pharmacology for readers with a simple biochemical, chemical and physiological background. The first part logically develops fundamental principles upon which further information is gradually built, making full use of 'type substances', key tables and clear, explanatory diagrams. In the second part these principles are extended to include the pharmacology of drugs acting on specific body systems, and the final part contains sections on toxicology, the use and abuse of therapeutic agents and drug discovery and development. The logical approach will appeal to those coming into pharmacology from ancillary sciences, and the therapeutic bias of the book will ensure it a warm reception from medical and veterinary students.
