There are few technical books that remain in a leadership position for 65 years. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics is one. Physicians, teachers, and medical students have voted for Goodman & Gilman with their feet and with their pocketbooks for over six decades. The question is not whether this is an important and useful text, but why? A sentence by the original authors in their 1940 preface still describes the 11th edition: “This book has also been written for the practicing physician, to whom it offers an opportunity to keep abreast of recent advances in therapeutics and to acquire the basic principles necessary for the rational use of drugs in his/her daily practice.” The book’s 65 chapters are grouped into 15 sections: General Principles, Drugs Acting at Synaptic and Neuroeffector Junctional Sites, Drugs Acting on the Central Nervous System, Drug Therapy of Inflammation, Drugs Affecting Renal and Cardiovascular Function…Chemotherapy of Microbial Diseases, Chemotherapy of Neoplastic

Ablow offers pragmatic advice... ！ recommend this book. The tone is friendly and helpful, and because of [the author's recent medical school experience] he can tell you what you need to consider and the consequences of your choices with his own experiences freshly in mind....The organization and presentation are logical and easy to follow.., a walk through the entire process,including applications, and the ultimate rejection or acceptance.The book offers useful advice on college major, course selection and extracurricular activities. The author's pragmatism translates into sound advice for continued moral and intellectual development during a potentially dehumanizing process....This book offers practical suggestions about a very stressful and oftenambiguous process. High school and college students considering a career in medicine would benefit from the one or two evenings needed to read it. Anyone involved in advising students would also find it useful. 作者简介： KEITH RUSSELL ABLOW, M.D.,

The formation of microcolonies on surfaces is an important bacterial survival strategy. These biofilms occur on both inert and living systems, making them important to a wide range of scientific disciplines. This book first provides an analysis of the chemical, ecological and physical processes involved with the development of biofilms and their interactions with surfaces. The next section deals with biofilms on non-living surfaces. Biofilms have important engineering implications, such as in mining industries, the corrosion of pipelines and pure and waste water industries. Biofilms have medical significance when associated with the mouth, urinary tract and urinogenital tract. In addition, they form in plant root systems and in animals, such as the ruminant digestive tract, and so are agriculturally important. The final section examines these interactions with living surfaces.

Anatomically correct An unsurpassed treatise of the human body We owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797?1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published . Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782?1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David . The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise?s eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death. The eight volumes of Bourgery?s treatise cover de*ive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), gen
