Book description
A Textbook of Modern Toxicology
is a unique resource that provides both students and practitioners with
a wide-ranging, accessible overview of the discipline. Suitable for
courses in environmental, pharmacological, medical, and veterinary
toxicology, this essential text features chapters written by experts who
address a range of key topics.
The Fourth Edition includes additional
chapters on new approaches to toxicology - molecular methods (-omics:
toxicogenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), bioinformatics, and
systems biology - and continues the legacy of its predecessors to
provide up-to-date insights into acute toxicity and chemical
carcinogenesis, organ toxicity, in vitro and in vivo toxicity testing,
ecological risk assessment, and many other areas of toxicology that
help foster a solid comprehension of the field.
Also featured in the Fourth Edition are end-of-chapter questions and
a Solutions Manual available separately for academic adopters.
ERNEST HODGSON, PhD, is Distinguished Professor
Emeritus of Toxicology at North Carolina State University. In addition
to the previous editions of A Textbook of Modern Toxicology, he
coedited Molecular and Biochemical Toxicology, Fourth Edition
(Wiley) and its prior editions. Dr. Hodgson is the Editor of the
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology.
