Product Description
Review
"There are few technical books that remain in a leadership position for 65 years. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics is one. Physicians, teachers, and medical students have voted for Goodman & Gilman with their feet and with their pocketbooks for over six decades. The question is not whether this is an important and useful text, but why?...While Goodman & Gilman is no quick-read, it is surprisingly clearly written, logical and interesting. It is also an awesome realization to see how much one never knew, added to what one knew but forgot."--The Permanente Journal (The Permanente Journal )

A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"The 11th edition of Goodman & Gilman continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative single source on the pharmacology of drugs. The first edition was published by Alfred Gilman and Louis Goodman in 1941. It soon became known as the bible of pharmacology and, even though editorship and chapter authorships have changed continuously from edition to edition, this remains the gold standard of pharmacology textbooks....The print version should be on the reference shelf and the digital version on the computer desktop of all practicing pharmacologists, pharmacists, and physicians."--Doody's Review Service

STRIDING TOWARDS PERFECTION
28 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
"Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" is one dynamic text, which has made indelible contributions to the study of pharmacology. Its choice of using simple everyday language in explaining complex pharmacological processes is most welcomed. The same could be said concerning the sheer depth of its contents. And, this eleventh edition has succeeded in raising the standard higher. It provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage on all aspects of clinical pharmacology. Detailed analyses of both drugs and nutritional suppliments were made. The most outstanding being: the fundamental concepts surrounding their pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications.
Again, the pages of this excellent book has increased by some one hundred pages over the tenth edition. A significant number of these new pages were dedicated to easy-to-understand Pharmacological charts, chemical structures of drugs, their metabolic pathways, and other related physiological illustrations. Also, various chapters (partcularly those dealing with antibiotics, prophylaxis, critical care, and pediatric prescriptions) have been updated.
I very much appreciate the improvements made on this eleventh edition, yet, my advice to anybody who has already acquired the tenth edition is to stick with it. I frankly see no point in buying this one if you already own the tenth edition.

A rehash
23 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
I am a physician, and recently used the previous (10th) edition as an overview for a presentation I was preparing on opioid analgesics. We just got our new, 11th edition, and I embarked on a comparison of the chapters. To my astonishment, despite the considerable ongoing research in opioid pharmacology, the chapters were practically identical, with the new edition providing NO substantive new information. I cannot speak to the rest of this venerable reference, but this chapter was just a rehash (and a big disappointment).

Get the 10th edition.
7 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
I can't say that I'm pleased with the new edition. The information is grossly disorganized, there are no introductory chapters, and important information has been omitted or dumbed down, e.g. the section on fat-soluble vitamins, specifically vitamin A.
If you're buying, get the 10th ed. The new edition is definitely a step down for Goodman & Gilman.
