Description
Book SynopsisToxicology is a multi-faceted field that requires a keen analytical eye. A Textbook of Modern Toxicology is a unique resource that provides both students and practitioners with an insightful overview of this discipline.
Trade Review"The book assumes a good knowledge of general toxicology and some knowledge of specialist areas, and would be a useful aid if studying for a higher degree where basic understanding has been." (British Toxicology Society, Winter 2010)
