An introductory section on some of the basic principles of clinical pharmacology is followed by 16 sections on the management of diseases, organized according to systems of the body. In each of the chapters dealing with individual diseases, the authors first discuss the pathophysiologic principles and then outline the methods of drug therapy appropriate to each, firmly grounding the therapy in the context of the pathophysiology. Some of the sections on systems of the body include accounts of the evaluation of the diseases to which the system is prey. In each case, the arguments for using one drug or another are based on the most recent evidence, cited in the bibliography at еhe end of each chapter, although one of the cornerstones of evidence-based medicine, the number of patients who would need to be treated to produce a given outcome, is conspicuously absent. The discussions are for the most part excellent, but the chapters that include contributions from physicians have a slight edge over those that do not.
