520    The word pharmacology has been used since the seventeenth 
       century to refer - like the ancient term materia medica - 
       to the general study of drugs, including their origin, 
       composition, physiological effects, therapeutic uses, 
       preparation, and administration. But the modern science of
       pharmacology did not emerge as a distinct discipline until
       the nineteenth century, when scientists primarily 
       concerned with investigating the physiological effects of 
       drugs began calling themselves "pharmacologists." The 
       Development of American Pharmacology is the first 
       comprehensive history of the emergence of the science of 
       pharmacology as an independent discipline in the United 
       States. Central to the story is John J. Abel (1857-1938), 
       widely regarded as the "father of American pharmacology." 
       A student of the University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins,
       Abel received his M.D. degree at the University of 
       Strassburg and helped introduce German knowledge of 
       pharmacology to his American colleagues. At the University
       of Michigan, he was appointed to the first chair of 
       pharmacology in the United States, and as professor of 
       pharmacology at Johns Hopkins for thirty-nine years, he 
       trained many of the leading figures in the discipline. In 
       addition to offering the first detailed portrait of Abel's
       education and career, Parascandola treats topics such as 
       the beginnings of experimental pharmacology in the 
       nineteenth century; the spread of American pharmacology 
       from Michigan and Johns Hopkins to other universities; the
       growth of pharmacology outside the academic setting; and 
       the establishment of a national society of pharmacologists
       and a specialized journal, the Journal of Pharmacology and
       Experimental Therapeutics.
