Casarett and Doull's Toxicology : The Basic Science of Poisons (6^th Ed.)

The sixth edition of this book marks its silver anniversary. This new edition, as the previous five, is meant to serve primarily as a text, or an adjunct to, graduate courses in toxicology. This volume will again provide information on the many facets of toxicology and especially on the principles, concepts, and modes of thought that are the foundation of the discipline. Mechanisms of toxicity are emphasized. Research toxicologists will find this book an excellent reference source to find updated material in areas of their special or peripheral interests. More information on risk assessment is also included. References in this edition include not only traditional journal and review articles, but, for the first time, Internet sites.

Within the field of toxicology, Casarett & Doull's Toxicology is the gold standard text. It presents concepts in logical progression from general principles to specific topics. In addition to new chapters and interior design (see key features below), this 6th edition includes recent advances in molecular biology and pharmacogenetics, and thoroughly revamped clinical chapters. Key features include : New colour insert of 32 photographs : New 2-colour design : Chapter outlines at the beginning of each chapter : New chapters on Occupational Toxicology and Regulatory Toxicology.
