More detailed than an outlined review but less overwhelming than an encyclopedic reference, Brenner and Stevens’ Pharmacology, 6th Edition, focuses on the essential principles students need to know in a concise, easy-to-understand manner. Authored by Craig W. Stevens, PhD, this highly illustrated introductory text helps students learn and retain key information in pharmacology—taking them from course exams and the USMLE Step 1 right through to clinical practice. New and extensively revised content keeps readers up to date with the latest pharmacologic mechanisms and applications.
