Editorial Reviews

3 Stars from Doody

This is an interesting addition to the series Advances in Pharmacology that incorporates contributions of a variety of experts. The book is designed to serve as a comprehensive collection of reviews on drug therapy and the molecular bases of drug action. The purpose is to provide a solid reference for professional pharmacologists, medical practitioners, and a broad range of students and professionals involved in pharmacology and related disciplines. The book largely meets its overall objective. Although of particular interest to researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students in pharmacology, it is also a convenient source for professionals working in related disciplines such as medicine. The contributors are solid, well recognized, and credible in their respective areas. It is comprehensive, concise, well-referenced, and original. A great feature is the inclusion of appropriate illustrations to explain the text. The layout is simple and appealing. This book covers a broad spectrum of the topics dealing with molecular actions of drugs. It will be of particular interest to both industrial and university based researchers working in pharmacology, and related areas of medicine and drug development.

Praise for the Series
"The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard."
—NEUROSCIENCE
"Incomparably useful."
—ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page."
—BIO/TECHNOLOGY
"The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection."
—CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY
"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced."
—AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS
"If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work."
—ENZYMOLOGIA
"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists."
—JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
