Pharmacology

This unique and much needed textbook needs to be addressed in the fields of pharmacy and medicine. While the market is crowded with the pharmacodynamics and pharmacology textbooks, the field of pharmacology is booming with the prospects of discovering new drugs. The company is adopting Hache, et al. to help train new drug researchers.

The boom in pharmacology is driven by the human genome and enormous progress in controlling genes and synthesizing proteins. This book makes use of these molecules, the second generation of drugs, the drug and the nutrients, culminating chapters on the drug discovery process.

* Uses individual drugs to explain molecular actions
* Full color art program explains molecular and chemical concepts graphically
* Logical structure reflecting the current state of pharmacology and translational research
* Covers such intricacies as resistance and cell death
* Consistent format across chapters and pedagogical strategies. Make this textbook a superior learning tool
