Rezensionen

"The passionate concerns that many of us hold-for protecting animal habitat, water quality, or the health of our most vulnerable people-often are not coupled with a solid understanding of why some substances are harmful. So I was personally delighted to find some of the grounding I needed in [this book]. ... The short chapters and straightforward approach present the information with great clarity."

"I found this book to be a delightful text that reminded me of all the wonderful ways in which toxicology impacts our lives ... . It is a great primer for young people considering a career in the field, but, importantly, is also an excellent text for introducing the topic to the general public, something that I feel has historically been lacking. The author should be commended for his efforts in compiling this text."
