TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preface to the Second Edition A1 - Hilal-Dandan, Randa A1 - Brunton, Laurence L. PY - 2016 T2 - Goodman and Gilman's Manual of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2e AB - This Manual derives from the 12th edition of Goodman & Gilman'sThe Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. The parent text covers not just principles and mechanisms of action but also details of clinical use and recent basic research that supports therapeutic applications and points the way toward new therapies; as a consequence of this thoroughness, the book is large and not in the fashion of the shorter texts preferred by students of this era. To make core material from G&G more accessible, we have abridged the 12th edition of the parent text, trying to present the essentials of mechanism and clinical use while omitting research data, references, and the pharmacokinetic data of Appendix II, all of which can be found at the G&G website on AccessMedicine.com and AccessPharmacy.com, along with regular therapeutic updates and mechanistic animations. We have also generally omitted the structures of therapeutics agents, which are readily available on the book's website and on PubChem (pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). This Manual of Pharmacology and Therapeutics is organized identically to the parent text, using many of the same figures and tables; a number of figures have been improved or added anew for this edition.
