Integrated Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology

I was very happy with the company that sent me my textbook that I needed. Becky G

it's what I needed for theRespiratory program that I'm in. Shipment was fast. I'm very pleased

This is a very good book for RT students. I like its organization and presentation. It is by far the best book available for basic pharmacology in terms of coverage and readability. I agree with another reviewer in that the students are actually reading the chapters on their own. The review questions in the book are nice but missing the answer key (at least for the instructors). The online review questions are mostly recall. I hope in the next edition, more application and clinical questions would be developed for the book and online review. Instead of references within the text, it uses a bibliography format at the end of the book. However, this is more than adequate for an introductory course. Finally, I know it can be "painful" to switch textbooks but this new book is definitely worthy of your time and effort. If you supplement the book with other resources available (printed or web-based), it can be as complete as any other pharmacology books currently available.

I think Colbert and Mason have done a great job with a text that is typically student "unfriendly". I am using it for the first time with a class and students are actually reading the chapters! Other text lose students with terminology and tend to get bogged down in the biochemistry of pharmacolgy losing site of when and how the drugs should be used. The students love the web site and use it to further challenge themselves.
