A lucid, well-organized presentation that is easy to understand and remember, with emphasis on the understanding of concepts rather than a statement of facts. Clear and apt illustrations that make complex topics easy to understand. Exclusion of complex classifications and terminologies that are not of practical value and also ìvaporizeî rapidly from memory. Up-to-date with respect to the current trends in pharmacotherapeutics. On the other hand, teachers judge a book from its content, whether it emphasizes the learning objectives as laid down in the curriculum, its ìoriginalityî in terms of approach to the subject, its presentation, and the correctness of the information provided. Both groups of readers also look for ìnoveltyî and ìinnovativeness.î The textbook ìPrinciples of Pharmacologyî by H. L. Sharma and K. K. Sharma fulfills these and more. This text book on pharmacology is primarily targeted toward undergraduate medical students. To begin with, the topics included are contemporary and well classified. Special topics such as pediatrics and geriatric pharmacology and pharmacology of radiocontrast media and drug schedules have been included. The strength of this book lies in the detailed yet simple manner in which the topics in General Pharmacology have been dealt with. This will help the students understand the basic principles very well.
