AB  - Upon  beginning  my  thirtieth  year  as  a  pharmacist,  the  number  of  new  approaches  that  continue  to  be  developed  for  therapeutic  drug  monitoring  impresses  me.  The  second  edition  of  Applied  Clinical  Pharmacokinetics  includes  new  methods  to  dose  immunosuppressants  (2-hour  postdose  cyclosporine  concentrations,  area  under  the  curve  methods  for  cyclosporine  and  tacrolimus),  and  the  elevation  of  what  were  new  methods  of  dosing  antibiotics  to  the  mainstream  (extended  interval  and  area  under  the  curve  methods  for  aminoglycosides,  troughonly  monitoring  for  vancomycin).  Other  additions  include  more  complete  coverage  of  pediatric  patients,  dosing  during  hemoperfusion,  an  overview  of  methods  preceding  the  initial  and  dosage  adjustment  sections,  and  a  dosing  strategies  section  that  groups  together  initial  and  dosage  adjustment  techniques  into  a  logical  sequence.  Of  course,  relevant  sections,  examples,  problems,  and  references  have  been  updated  as  needed  for  each  chapter.  However,  one  thing  that  remains  unchanged  is  the  general  organization  and  philosophy  of  the  book  (please  see  the  excerpt  from  the  first  edition  following  this  section).  Bernard  of  Chartres  used  to  say  that  we  are  like  dwarfs  on  the  shoulders  of  giants,  so  that  we  can  see  more  than  they,  and  things  at  a  greater  distance,  not  by  virtue  of  any  sharpness  of  sight  on  our  part,  or  any  physical  distinction,  but  because  we  are  carried  high  and  raised  up  by  their  giant  size.—in  Metalogicon  (1159  A.D.),  by  John  of  Salisbury.
