Publisher's Synopsis
Written by two experienced toxicology lecturers, Principles of Toxicology is an easy-to-read, comprehensive textbook for a first course in toxicology at the undergraduate or graduate level - filling the acute need for a well-rounded introductory text. Students will no longer need to struggle with material that is too difficult or that has too narrow a toxicological focus. Principles of Toxicology covers this broad and interdisciplinary field from the viewpoint of three different functional levels: molecular and cellular; physiological; and environmental and ecological. Within each chapter, the authors combine background material with new information in a manner that stresses principles and concepts. These principles are then illustrated with selected specific examples. This design helps students focus on understanding the subject rather than simply memorizing details. Your search for the perfect introductory toxicology text is over! Principles of Toxicology elegantly facilitates the teaching and learning of this challenging subject.
