Editorial Reviews

Review

"This textbook nimbly covers a wide, complex subject without dumbing it down...It's easy to read (in bite sized chunks) and the liberal use of colour, and high quality paper, add a feel-good factor". BMA Awards 2007, review of the previous edition

5.0 out of 5 stars The best entry-level pharmacology textbook, May 18, 2000
By 
This review is from: Pharmacology (Paperback)
Its strange that such an exciting subject as pharmacology is served by so many badly organised, boringly written and outdated textbooks. Rang + Dale is a refreshing antidote to this strange state of affairs. The first 8 chapters form a superb introduction to the subject - particularly because the authors don't skimp on the physiological details and concentrate on principles rather than endless catalogues of obscure drugs. This is a British textbook and thus uses British nomenclature, but the American equivalents are pointed out along the way, so American readers shouldn't be put off. The more advanced student will of course outgrow the material in this book, but I would strongly recommend this textbook for science undergrads, medical students, and anyone looking for a book to provide a solid foundation to their study of pharmacology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but simple textbook, December 28, 2006

Traveling Doctor (Grafenwohr, Germany) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great textbook if you want as little detail as possible; it tells you exactly what you need to know and no more. The readings are short and easy. The best part about the textbook is the review boxes at the end of each section. The online access is also a plus because you are able to download and print the figures, which become useful study aids. I would definitely recommend this textbook. It should be supplemented with Pharmacology flashcards or charts, which is why it is only a four out of five stars.
