4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This 12th edition of the most authoritative book in pharmacology is the best both in content and physical appearance....This edition of Goodman & Gilman's continues to be the most authoritative and widely used resource bridging the discipline of pharmacology with therapeutics. Moreover, readers will find this edition to be substantially improved from past editions in both content and physical appearance."--Doody's Review Service
The most universally respected and read medical text in all of pharmacology, Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics represents the pinnacle of authority and accuracy in describing the actions and uses of therapeutic agents in relation to physiology and pathophysiology. Goodman & Gilman’s careful balance of basic science and clinical application has guided thousands of practitioners and students to a clear understanding of the drugs essential to preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease.
Enriched by a new full-color presentation and updated to reflect all critical new developments in drug action and drug-disease interaction, the twelfth edition includes more than 440 color illustrations depicting key principles and actions of specific pathways and therapeutic agents.
Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 12e is divided into nine sections, covering:
General Principles
Neuropharmacology
Modulation of Cardiovascular Function
Inflammation, Immunomodulation, and Hematopoiesis
Endocrine Pharmacology
Gastrointestinal Pharmacology
Chemotherapy of Infectious Disease
Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases
Special Systems Pharmacology
More than a textbook, Goodman & Gilman's is a working template for the effective and rational prescribing of drugs in daily practice.

This is probably a good desk reference for a physician, but it is a poor instructional aide, and is full of errors and omissions of important information.
This is a 2000 page book, and goes into excruciating detail to the point where the grand scheme is lost. Moreover, the excruciating detail is not well explained, or starts out well explained and abruptly digresses before the explanation's conclusion. The cardiac action potential is one such example.
As an instructional aide, it is very poor. It is very difficult to learn from this book, and some explanations are wrong. As an example, an this book describes an inverse agonist as a type of regulatory ligand that stabilizes a receptor in its inactive form, which is incorrect. It should be described as a type of regulatory ligand that reduces activity below a receptor's basal rate.
There are numerous errors in page layout that affect the way the outline of the material is perceived. As an example, in the general principles section where the physiological receptors are presented, there is a nice table showing the various types of receptors. The body of the text does not unfold as expected. I will use an outline format as an analogy. A proper presentation would unfold as such:
I. Receptors
A. GPCR
B. ion-gated
C. nuclear receptor
D. etc
1. etc
a. etc
What we get instead is:
A. receptors
1. GPCR
B. ion-gated
I. nuclear receptor
C. etc
1. etc.
a. etc.
The headings are completely screwed up. Nuclear receptor looks like a new section in the chapter.
Also, the book goes back and forth between regular print and microscopic print in the body of the text.
