All rights reserved. Pharmacology is often perceived as one of the more difficult subjects in a medical curriculum. There are several possible explanations. First, there are difficult concepts and terms that are inherent to this subject. Second, there is a massive amount of information, often presented in a dry and highly technical manner. Finally, once a text is printed, it is practically out of date because of all the recent breakthroughs, new drugs, and new delivery devices that have been developed before it even hits the bookstores. We took all these factors into account as we developed and pilot-tested this innovative project. So what makes this book unique and able to address these concerns? First and foremost, this truly is an integrated project at several levels and not just a "buzz word" thrown into the title. The authors and publisher took very seriously the integrated aspect of this project and first sought the interdisciplinary perspective offered by both pharmacists and respiratory therapists. In addition, pharmacology was integrated and linked to physiology and pathology to give a total understanding and enhance connectional and relevant learning. The authors also took very seriously the concept of writing in a style that did not distance the student from the material and encouraged "learning and relating" the material versus massive memorization. Finally, there are some things we did not take so seriously. While we were serious about the contents, relevancy, and accuracy of the material, we had fun writing, researching, and collaborating on this project. We utilized splashes of humor within this textbook, with the underlying idea that what is learned with humor is not readily forgotten. While humor will make the learning easier, never take lightly your responsibilities as a health care professional. SPECIAL TEXTBOOK FEATURES Our goal is to produce a truly introductory and interactive pharmacology text that students can connect with and learn pharma
