Product Description
Review
The publishers should be congratulated for making this book so readable - International Journal of Toxicology
Product Description
Since the publication of the first edition of Introduction to Toxicology , toxicology has become a more mature science, the number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses has increased and thus the need for a regularly updated introductory text has become more pressing.
This third edition caters for this need in a clear and easy-to-read style, featuring:
* Up-to-the-minute information
* Relevant toxicological examples that reinforce principles
* End-of-chapter essay questions
* New and redrawn illustrations
* Glossary of terms
* Extensively revised bibliography
The fundamental principles of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are described in the introductory chapters, as are the types of exposure and response. In subsequent chapters these are clarified with the use of carefully chosen examples. Among the topics considered are the potential adverse effects of drugs, pesticides, food additives and industrial chemicals.

Format:Paperback
This book is suitable for all undergraduates on either Pharmacology or Toxicology- single or joint honours. The wording is simple;his message, short and sharp. The content is not too dense, and, unlike the other textbooks, does not assume that the student has already acquired an authoritative grasp of the underlying principles- a step-by-step approach is Professor Timbrell's style, which makes this book a very effective read before moving on to the more advanced texts, of which there is no shortage of in the library. It is possible to read the whole book in a week so it makes a very effective companion for a quick revision of the lecture notes for those of us who left it till the last minute!
