It's here. It's improved. It's worth the cost of replacing prior editions. It's well worth the time to read....The 11th text edition and first digital edition of the classic Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics is a worthy successor to all that has come before....The exciting addition to this textbook is the digital edition, an Internet site where the full text of the book appears, with quality reproductions of all figures and tables. This is much more than another copy of the textbook: each section has links to updates (articles describing recent developments related to that chapter, including newer drugs), to related sections of the textbook, and to clinical practice guidelines and patient education materials. Included on the Internet site are access to the Gold Clinical Pharmacology database, with extensive information about prescription and over-the-counter medications, continuously updated; pictures of most solid and liquid dosage forms; and ample discussion of potential drug-drug interactions. Newly approved drugs are included, and all drugs, not just class prototypes, get thorough treatment. Many parts of this digital edition can be transferred to readers' various electronic devices: computer, cell phone, digital organizer, or music player....should be within arm's reach of all who prescribe drug therapy.
