Variability in Human Drug Response
This is a gem of a book - full of excellent explanations and insights. Anyone who reads this book carefully will realize its importance in the current age of personalized medicine that underpins precision medicine. I read this book nearly 40 years ago while studying for my fellowship examination in England. Rereading the same book in 2021 confirmed its value, particularly when I think about the central concept of variability in human response, be it to drugs, food, physiology, or metabolism. My thanks to Elsevier for preserving this book by publishing it as a DRM- free e-book at very reasonable cost by offering a discount.
