Medical Pharmacology at a Glance M.J. Neal. London: Blackwell Science Ltd. 1997. ISBN 0-86542-719-4. 103 pp. L10.95.
This book provides an overview of human pharmacology using a combination of clear, detailed diagrams supplemented with concise text summaries. The book begins with the basic pharmacological principles, such as drug-receptor interactions and drug metabolism, and moves on to cover all of the major classes of drugs. It would be of interest as an introductory text to a reader with no experience in pharmacology, although some knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry is required in many places. It would also be ideal as a pre-exam study aid for students presenting for examinations in introductory pharmacology, as well as for students taking biological science courses which have pharmacology as a minor component.
