Hello PharmPK members (Book update)
Version 1.0 of Basic Pharmacokinetics: Truncated is now on 50 Apple
iBookstores. This free version contains the first eight chapters of the
full course with the updated widgets which now remember your preference
of CL/V or kel/V across widgets and book views using localStorage (a
JavaScript function). Also, the figures have been been revised.
Apple now includes a versioning facility with iBooks. The current
version 1.0 may not be fully part of this system. If you have already
downloaded the earlier version you should be able to delete it and =
re-download
the new version. When I delete them from my iPad they show a little =
cloud
which suggests they are available for re-downloading. I'm guessing the
next version will show up as an automatic upgrade/download
similar to updating apps.
I am still busy working on the next full version, proctoring a final
this morning allowed for some significant proof reading time. I hope to
submit this upgrade soon in time for my next Basic Pharmacokinetics
class in January (Apple reviewers are recently taking about two weeks
for review).
Most recently I thought that it might be useful to provide an electronic
book for the iPad including the PharmPK archives. I have been providing
a CD with this and other material but think an iBook (and possibly pdf)
version might be just as useful if not more so. Comments on this
endeavor would be welcome. I will start by putting together the early
discussions. It looks like a pdf version can be submitted to the
bookstore. As this will be a relatively inactive (:-) book it should be
possible to prepare this in multiple (two) versions.
I hope you can explore these offerings and consider them for
recommendations to your students and colleagues. Search for 'David
Bourne' on the iBookstore. These books require an iPad with the latest
version of iBooks.
Thank you, David Bourne
