Assuming little previous knowledge of biology, this book aids
graduate chemists to close the gap in their knowledge of
pharmacology and make the link between medicinal chemistry and the
way in which drugs act on the body. The availability of receptor
structures has revolutionized drug discovery and development
necessitating an up-to-date source of information for chemists
entering this new pharmacological world. Chapters, written by
experts with an appreciation of most graduate chemists' knowledge,
explain the history of pharmacology, the relationship between
receptor structure and function and receptor pharmacology relevant
to drug design. Importantly, as drugs are normally discovered in
test rather than therapeutic systems, this text describes how
pharmacology provides methods to characterize drug activity through
scales that allow prediction of drug effect in all systems.
Moreover, it outlines the relationship between drug distribution in
the body and the action of drugs in particular organ systems
relevant to disease. Readers will also find information on
pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism, safety pharmacology and
toxicology, clinical and regulatory pharmacology and the use of
imaging techniques. Carefully edited for relevance to the modern
chemist, this unique textbook will be an essential resource for
chemists planning to work in drug discovery, or postgraduate
students and practicing chemists interested in expanding their
pharmacology knowledge

Since the first edition of Hungary was published, Hungary has
elected several post-Communist governments, Joined NATO, begun
membership talks with the EU, and made substantial progress in
dealing with its economic problems. This updated and revised
edition chronicles the history of Hungary, from its ancient origins
to its current affairs. Its accessible text also provides a
comprehensive overview of daily life, politics, culture, economy,
and foreign policy that characterize the national today. This
volume is an excellent introduction to Hungary for students and
general reader alike.
Algebraic coding theory is a new and rapidly developing subject,
popular for its many practical applications and for its
fascinatingly rich mathematical structure. This book provides an
elementary yet rigorous introduction to the theory of
error-correcting codes. Based on courses given by the author over
several years to advanced undergraduates and first-year graduated
students, this guide includes a large number of exercises, all with
solutions, making the book highly suitable for individual study.
