Pharmacology, in its own right, is a massive subject area and has been the focus of several major textbooks. The aim of Human Pharmacology is to provide a readable, introductory text which covers all of the main aspects of pharmacology, but in a way that enthuses the reader to study the subject further, rather than aiming to provide comprehensive, detailed coverage of the subject matter. Each chapter includes line drawings and figures to illustrate concepts and mechanisms of action. Each chapter ends with a selection of recommended reading and multiple choice revision questions.
