AB We rarely review books, but in this one Laurence and Black write clearly and authoritatively about the benefits and risks of using drugs; how new drugs are developed; the role of industry; the government control of medicines and the problems of prescribing and drug consumption. It also contains a glossary of technical terms used in the book, which is helpful for the lay reader.
