A Textbook of Modern Toxicology

by Ernest Hodgson (editor)

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 (- 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.

I used this book for the first time in this spring semester's tox class. Overall, it's very good. It includes info on tox testing, environmental issues, and future topics that is lacking in other texts. Can be repetitive in places and has a strange mention of applying homeopathic principles to toxicology (?!). Otherwise, a good introductory text.

A decent textbook. I referred it for my organ system toxicity class. Provides a brief overview of system physiology and then a quick capitulation of selected toxicants.
