Pharmacology book by NPTA not worth reading
Hi Everyone,
Enjoyed this recent review of the Pharmacy Technician Series:
Pharmacology, NPTA puts out. I thought Mr. Johnston, who claims to be the author, had spent a great deal of our money to come up with a good book. Apparently not.
Not bashing… just informing.

The author seems to have a poor understanding of physiology. Many times the book read like a high school term paper written from note
cards with little deep understanding of the subject. The error per paragraph ratio was near 0.8 error / paragraph. The publisher should be ashamed of this product and submit it for rewrite or at least proof reading. I sampled some random questions in the review test and found
one glaring error (wrong answer) in the first two questions that I selected.
I gave it two stars only because the book could be useful to someone that has a strong background in A&P and a sense of humor.
