Rating:  - Best Pharmacology Text BookHaving spent 4 years studying Pharmacology it's my opinion that this series is the best overall text book for the subject. I got through my BSc with the 4th Edition and it was always the starting point for any research I did. It doesn't have all the detail needed for a decent essay or other research; you'll always need to cite journals and more specific text books. But, it gives you concise and clear information on almost anything Pharmacology. The 5th Edition (I've had my copy for about 2 months now) seems to be a big improvement from the 4th. It's bigger and obviously updated. A MUST for any Pharmacology student. Cough up the money, it's well worth it. Rating: - A must-have for medics...This textbook covers everything anyone could ever need - it goes into plenty of detail, explains things clearly and simply, and has a separate section for drugs used in neuroscience. I found it fantastic for both first and second year medicine, and couldn't have done without it for timed essays and tutorials. A sound investment which i will definitely be using during the third year. Rating: - Very useful textAs a final year biomedic, I've been using Rang since my first year. It's an excellent text, and worth having around even if it's not one of your 'essential reading' items, as it has tons of useful info on different drugs and their mechanisms of action. I've found myself in the middle of a physiology course before now thinking to myself "Yikes, I've never heard of this! Better check in Rang", and I know people on very diverse courses (pharmacology [obviously], physiology, medical microbiology, medicine - and others) that do the same. The writing is very clear and easy to follow. Each drug (or family of drugs) is divided into sections such as Pharmacokinetics, clinical use, method of action, etc., and compared to other compounds with similar properties, with lots of tables and diagrams along the way to make things that little bit clearer. The price is comparable to everything else on the market, but this is definitely an excellent investment. You'll use it throughout your degree and (my tutor has a copy nestled on his bookshelf) probably beyond. Rating: - ExcellentAn absolutely excellent Pharmacology textbook, so clear and well presented it was certainly worth the money. I wouldn't have even passed my degree if it weren't for this book! Rating:  - ExcellentThis famous book has a large scope to cover, but it copes admirably with its task. Terminology is explained in simple language throughout, making it more readable than you might expect. The lack of a glossary of key terms and principles means that you will have to rummage when revising those definitions, but the appendix of drugs lists will be useful. Throughout, little boxes state key and clinical information, which are handy for revision, although more detail might have been useful in places. The diagrams use real data and are clear and concise. Tables are excellent, cross-referencing to other chapters when possible.
