5.0 out of 5 stars Review on 8th edition C&D Toxicology
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2014
Verified Purchase
As someone who has had several editions of this textbook, I can easily state this edition is the best so far. This is mostly due to the change of adding in the color tabulations (on the side of the text book making it much easier to find sections) and the addition of multicolor graphs, illustrations, tables, etc. The 7th edition had 2 color for everything - green and black.
For giving presentations, the DVD with full presentation graphics will prove to be a real time saver.
Otherwise the book continues to be an excellent reference for anyone that needs a current standard for toxicology. The text is organized well, it has an excellent index and is exceedingly well referenced as would be expected.
The new sections - regulatory toxicology and nanotoxicology are needed in the expanding field and Toxic Effects of Calories looks to be an interesting read.
For a scientific work, pricing is actually pretty reasonable and the editions only come out about every 7 years. Definitely the book you want on your desk, or available electronically if you have toxicologic questions that you need to answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Toxicology Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014

I took a graduate level Toxicology course this past summer and this book was the textbook used for the class. It was not required, however my instructor told us that it was a very good toxicology book, probably the go-to text for toxicologists.
I would have to agree. I'm not much into reading out full chapters in textbooks such as this just becuase of the amount of information and the length of a lot of the chapters.
This one however was awesome. I read through as many chapters as I could. There was definitely a lot of information but the way the authors wrote it made it very easy to understand and keep reading through. There were also very interesting case studies as well that would help relate the information to real life examples. It is full of great information and it is written in a way that is easy to understand.
If you are taking a toxicology course or just want to learn more about the subject in general, I highly reccommend this book. It is a great addition to any library.

A must for any Toxicology student! Being a PhD student myself, this is my go to. It gives you layered information by detailing how systems and classes of compounds work. It details single molecules/compounds when they are the classics or notable outliers. The information is very technical but readable nonetheless. Chapters are outlined in a sensical manner and if a section within a chapter doesn't apply to what you need/want to know you can jump past without feeling like you've done so.

Bottom line: if you're looking for a book to look in the index for specific toxins like a dictionary and get a readout on page 933, this isn't it. Try Book of Poisons by Serita Stevens and Anne Bannon

Most comprehensive toxicology text available. Impressive breadth and depth of subject matter coverage. Only issue was that the corner of the book had a nice dent upon its arrival - it is so heavy that the cardboard packaging just didn't protect it sufficiently on its way to this user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for understanding how chemicals affect the environment and humans.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2016

I purchased this book just to learn more about the fate of pesticides in the environment. The book is great for providing an overview of toxicology and discussing so many issues relating to measuring the effects of chemicals (all kinds) in the environment and in animal and human systems. If you really want to know how our bodies are affected by chemicals in our food or in the environment, spend time with a book like this instead of on Google. You will come away with much more accurate knowledge.

The most intriguing book I have ever seen my wife read. Don't judge a book by its cover for this tox book is NOT about mercury poisoning. A true page turner. The plot is spellbinding. I won't give away the ending. You'll just have to read the1,000+ pages to find out!
