Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 14th Edition 14th Edition

Detailed, comprehensive--the best pharmacology book out there.

I had read the 3rd edition of Goodman and Gilman's "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" while I was a Biochemistry student taking the Pharmacology course at the University of Utah. I was fortunate to have had Dr. Goodman as one of the instructors for the course and I enjoyed reading the textbook (reference book). I recently needed to review some pharmacological data so I decided to purchase the more recent 14th edition which certainly lived up to my expectations as a valuable and up to date reference. I was impressed with the well designed, colorful figures and tables that accompany the well written text.

it is a good book.

Front cover damaged.

A standard legend in the pharmaceutical field.

This is an outstanding textbook of pharmacology. I use it in my classes to the medical students. My only criticism goes to the bad quality of printing, since some pages came with smudges. Nevertheless, I will keep my physical copy, since the problem did not affect figures.

Excels in mechanisms

I bought it in 1981 and still have it. It provides basic research, develops topics, high standard; from the golden era of medicine.
