Immunopharmacology ; Ages 18+; McGraw-Hill Education N2 - "The eighth edition of Pharmacology: An Introduction has been thoroughly updated, but the aim of this program remains what it has always been: to present a clear understanding of the basic concepts of pharmacology to the beginning student. Pharmacology is a complex subject that requires basic knowledge in many different scientific disciplines, particularly anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Health profession students often have limited exposure to these subjects, and one of the objectives of our text is to provide the necessary background information and to refresh the students' memory of previously learned material through which the therapeutic action of drugs can be clearly understood"-- ER -
