Product Description
Review
"This book serves as a highly useful introduction to toxicology, and I would recommend it to students entering the field."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )
Product Description
This title is based on the Gold Standard in the field! For over 25 years, "Casarett & Doull's Toxicology" has set the standard for providing thorough, academic, and authoritative information and remains the leading reference in the literature. Derived from this classic, "Casarett & Doull's Essentials of Toxicology" uses a highly readable, extensively illustrated approach to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of toxicology and how poisons affect the body. You'll learn about basic principles, toxicokinetics, how toxic effects are passed on to succeeding generations, how each body system responds to poisons, and the specific effects of a wide range of toxic agents - from pesticides to radiation. This title provides the benefits of the leading reference without the bulk. It is ideal for course work or as a concise reference. It presents concepts in logical progression from general principles to specific topics and examples.The chapter outlines overview study points and make review fast and easy by noting specific topics and examples. Simple, clear illustrations communicate complex concepts and reinforce comprehension. Summary tables distill important information. The key points sections summarize each chapter. Review questions assess your comprehension of content. End-of-chapter bibliographies facilitate further study or research.

although this book is principally American in its authorship, and very obviously in its botany, it is an excellent textbook, readable and worth its weight in gold.

Short but sweet
16 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I found this book helpful at summarizing big, complex ideas. However, there were several instances in which I felt this book did not fully explain what I wanted to know. At those times, I had to go to the large, hardback book this short summary comes from (Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Science of Poisons). However, this book was much cheaper and, most of the time, very helpful.

Too general to be of much use. The full book (Toxicology) expands on everything you WISH this one did.

Pretty much a must have for any starting toxicologist (of course you need to own the full version as well). Helped me study for my qualifiers, especially the intro chapters on the general concepts which was good for review purposes.
