Well done. 
There are so few books (unfortunately due to severely limited research) that provide a pharmacological view. This book is interesting in that it points out the most common receptor sites aswell as the agonists(stimulate the receptor) and antagonists(block the receptor). Much more research needs to be done but until then this book shines for the information it provides during these dark ages of thought. Good information, wish there was more...
