Studies in the History of Modern Pharmacology and Drug Therapy de John Parascandola

Studies in the History of Modern Pharmacology and Drug Therapy: Variorum Collected Studies

Autor John Parascandola
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 ian 2012
An acknowledged expert on the history of modern pharmacology and drug therapy, John Parascandola here brings together 19 of his most important papers on these subjects. The book is divided into three topical sections. In the first group of articles, devoted to pharmacological theory, Dr. Parascandola sheds new light on our understanding of the history of such key pharmacological concepts as receptor theory, structure-activity relationships, and the role of stereochemistry in physiological action. The second section focuses on the discipline of pharmacology and offers insights into the pivotal role played by John J. Abel in the shaping of the field, the development of pharmacology in schools of pharmacy and in the Federal Government, and the national pharmacological society's membership ban on pharmacologists working in industry. The final section on drug therapy discusses various drugs from antibiotics to sulfones, and their use in the treatment of diseases such as leprosy and syphilis.

Recenzii

'In our electronic age of databases, search engines, and e-books, it is especially satisfying to read a meticulously researched and masterfully written book containing the most significant articles, in this case, of the distinguished historian of pharmacology, medicine, and science Dr. John Parascandola. This fine anthology draws upon the author’s broad and prolific body of work containing articles that span from 1971 to 2009... Overall, this is a wonderful book that is replete with stories about the pioneers who advanced pharmacology and how their research has made our lives better. This book will be of special interest to scholars, but there is much to offer the general reader, especially in the second and third sections.' Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences '... a remarkably coherent and consistent group of contributions...' Ambix
