Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The book's first half can function as an advanced textbook and support learning these concepts and principles. The level and presentation are appropriate for learners who already have a reasonable grasp of general pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, such as advanced graduate students, medical students, or pharmacy students. ... The second half applies these principles to an in-depth analysis of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics for classes of antimicrobial drugs. This treatment can enhance the understanding and the application of these concepts for even experienced practitioners." (Gregory Reed, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
