About the Book
An Authoritative and Comprehensive Resource for Toxicology: The 3-volume set of Modern Toxicology is the first complete reference written specifically for students having interest in toxicology bringing together all aspects of modern toxicology. It provides an advanced text covering the basic and clinical principals of organ and reproduction toxicology, adverse effects of xenobiotics, and immuno-toxicology and clinical aspects of a wide range of poisons and poisonings in animals and humans beings. Thus these volumes are intended to give a better understanding for use in formal courses in the graduate programs in toxicology or self-study by those individuals who wish to be accredited by various organizations concerned with toxicology who are required to have a multi-disciplinary knowledge in areas like environmental health, clinical and forensic toxicology (detection of intentional or unintentional toxic substances) or in industry (assessment of hazards of new compounds), government agencies, in private commercial laboratories; in material science toxicology (biomedical and engineering disciplines), as educators (courses in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, agricultural, and veterinary practice); and finally for collection, storing, and retrieving toxicology information.
In brief this set represents the collective wisdom of several internationally known toxicologists, and offers a unique text/reference source for those involved in various specialized sections of toxicology. Contributing authors for chapters of the 3 volume set are the most qualified and well- experienced authorities in their respective areas of toxicology.
