Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics**** A classic text, now in its 50th year, recommended as a first purchase by Brandon-Hill. The new edition reflects the impact of modern biology since the previous edition in 1985: novel drugs produced by recombinant DNA technology, detailed knowledge of the structure and function of dozens of receptors, major progress in rational drug design, and improved treatment from appreciation of the importance of interplay between pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
