Review:

"It's an honor to review the tenth edition of this classic text. The eighth edition helped me learn pharmacology 10 years ago, and ninth edition has helped me teach pharmacology in recent years." "Numerous tables help to classify and organize this massive body of knowledge." Journal of American Medical Association 20021024 "For 60 years (first published in 1941) Goodman & Gilman has been a widely used pharmacology text." "The tenth edition is a must-have book for faculty abd graduate students. It will challenge undergraduate students, but is recommended as a reference/text with which they should be familiar and comfortable using." American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education 20020423 " The tenth edition is a must-have book for faculty and graduate students. It will challenge undergraduate students, but is recommended as a reference/text with which they should be familiar and comfortable using." American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education 20020401 "There are other reference and textbook options for pharmacologic information, but Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics remains the gold standard for the most comnprehensive explanantions of clinical pharmacology.
