Life Saving Drugs: The Elusive Magic Bullet
In 1900 only a handful of drugs (morphine, quinine, aspirin etc) had genuine efficacy and recovery from infections was haphazard. Now there are literally thousands of drugs and life-threatening infections have been either overcome or much diminished.
Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet describes the discovery and development of antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs. The book highlights the colourful characters behind the inventions and the huge improvements in quality of life and life-expectancy that these drugs have produced.
Emphasis is given to the new drugs that have emerged as a result of knowledge of the human genome, and the ways in which the newer drugs are being designed to tackle disease, particularly cancer, at the genetic level. Chemical structures are provided for all of the key drugs and the book is well illustrated.
Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet can be read as a history of drug development during the past 100 years by those with only a passing knowledge of chemistry. For anyone entering the medical profession, pharmacy, or nursing, it will provide a superb basic knowledge of all drugs they are ever likely to meet, including their modes of action. For the chemist or medicinal chemist, it will provide the fundamental knowledge of life-saving drugs that they all should know. And for the non-scientist who wants to know about 'super-bugs', SARS, Ebola, and all of the wonderful advances in treating cancer, it is illuminating and easy to read.

Handbook of Food-Drug Interactions
While pharmacists may know that a particular drug is inactive in a given pH environment, they may not know the pH of common foods. For dietitians the situation is reverse. With contributions from pharmacy, dietetics, and medicine, this book serves as a guide to the interdisciplinary prevention or correction of negative food-drug interactions. While other books simply list potential food-drug interactions, this book gives specific recommendations based on frequency and severity of reactions. It provides special dietary modifications necessary for prevention of adverse side effects. It also identifies new foods, supplements, and ethnic dishes that may contribute significantly to food-drug interactions.
