3.0 out of 5 stars
Short but sweet,
This review is from: Casarett & Doull's Essentials of Toxicology (Casarett and Doull's Essentials of Toxicology) (Paperback)
I found this book helpful at summarizing big, complex ideas. However, there were several instances in which I felt this book did not fully explain what I wanted to know. At those times, I had to go to the large, hardback book this short summary comes from (Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Science of Poisons). However, this book was much cheaper and, most of the time, very helpful.

Too general to be of much use. The full book (Toxicology) expands on everything you WISH this one did.

This review is from: Casarett & Doull's Essentials of Toxicology (Casarett and Doull's Essentials of Toxicology) (Paperback)
Pretty much a must have for any starting toxicologist (of course you need to own the full version as well). Helped me study for my qualifiers, especially the intro chapters on the general concepts which was good for review purposes.
