Review :
"To anyone not familiar with the first edition, the format of this book is refreshingly different. The basic reference toxicology information contained within it is extensively presented in tables and figures, which can readily be dipped into once one has located the topic of interest. This book should do away with searching through collections of references acquired over the years for that background clinical pathology data, maximum permissible bleed volume etc, etc, which you just know you have somewhere if only you could find it, because it is pretty well all here. For me the chapter entitled 'Miscellaneous Information of Toxicological Significance' is a particular gem. All in all, this book is a useful aid for a jobbing toxicologist." - Phil Taupin, British Biotech, in the British Toxicological Society Newsletter "covers the complete range of toxicology, a handy 'first source' reference for those nagging questions that come from colleagues, graduate students and the public. Despite the cost and the size, you should make room for it on your bookshelf." - Don Ecobichon in the Canadian Society of Toxicology Newsletter "Text has been kept to a minimum, wisely allowing the plethora of useful tables outlining key information and a few photographs to comprise the majority of the publication...of great value to practicing toxicologists in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, contract laboratories, regulatory agencies and academia and to students facing their first experimental design problems." - Vet.
