[David · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is a truly dreadful book. Concepts, my ass. A hideous, unilluminating laundry list of recipes on which programs to run to fit specific models, with no effort to explain which model might be appropriate, or why one would even contemplate modeling to begin with.

Rowland and Tozer remains by far the best pharmacokinetic textbook out there.
