Understanding Toxicology
Pages: 952,
Specialty: Toxicology,
Publisher: Jones & Bartlett,
Publication Year: 2017,
Cover: Paperback,
Dimensions: 177.8x251.46x53.34mm
Understanding Toxicology is a comprehensive study of toxicants and their impact on all levels of biology--from cell, to complex organism, to ecosystem. Unlike other texts of its kind, this text is uniquely structured by biological system, making it easy for readers to understand the impact of toxins on each system. Common mechanisms are explored in the cellular and complex organ system chapters to approach a systems biology perspective that is more applicable to modern computational toxicology risk assessment. Understanding Toxicology begins with three research questions that challenge the reader to discover what information is needed to solve controversies at the level of the cell, the complex organism, and the ecosystem. The book continues with a cellular, complex organism, and ecosystem analysis of toxicology principles including risk assessment. The cellular section follows common mechanisms from the outside to the inside of cells and individual organelles. A forensic approach analyzes complex organisms from outside to inside. The ecosystem section starts with a dispersion approach to determine environmental concentration and addresses toxicants in divisions similar to how the EPA determines impacts. Key Features * Uses lively, engaging examples making the text fun and easy to read and understand * Allows the reader to approach the subject from a research perspective as well as a public policy perspective * Covers biological toxicants including venoms, poisons, as well as microbial and fungal toxins, and plant toxins * Thoroughly covers all organisms including fish, plants, and microbes * Includes outlines and review questions in each chaptershow more

Principles of Toxicology, Third Edition
Pages: 455,
Specialty: Toxicology,
Publisher: Taylor & Francis,
Publication Year: 2015,
Cover: Hardback,
Dimensions: 160.02x238.76x27.94mm
Reflecting the broad and interdisciplinary nature of toxicology, this third edition of Principles of Toxicology explores the biochemical, physiological, and environmental aspects of the subject. This new edition is updated and revised to include reference to several major new directions in the science of toxicology, including significant changes in thinking about cancer and carcinogenesis as well as the rapid expansion of toxicogenomics. The book also includes new chapters on topics of timely interest such as radiation, food safety, and natural toxins. As in previous editions, chapters combine background material in the appropriate discipline-which helps readers review and remember the basics-with new information on toxicology to stress key principles and concepts. Also included is a selection of updated case studies through which principles and concepts are applied to real-world issues. The book features an extensive cross-referencing system linking all sections and enhancing the integration of material, thus helping readers tie it all together. It also includes an appendix of selected toxicants that describes chemical structure, category of use, and toxicity. These features make specific information quick and easy to find. The easy-to-follow format and clear presentation of information in this book will make this one of the most useful references on your shelf.

Medical Toxicology, 2 Vol
Pages: 904,
Specialty: Toxicology,
Publisher: Wiley,
Publication Year: 2012,
Cover: Hardback,
Dimensions: 222x286x58mm
Interest in the field of medical toxicology has grown rapidly, but the medical literature lacks an authoritative toxicology reference work dedicated to natural substances and drugs of abuse. This two-volume set combines Medical Toxicology of Natural Substances and Medical Toxicology of Drugs Abuse to deliver an in-depth, sub-specialty, readily accessible reference on these topics. Professionals in diverse fields, who typically do not need most of the information in a general medical toxicology book, can quickly apply the contents of these volumes to searchable databases and other electronic venues.
