I enjoyed this book a great deal and I found it useful for the reference sections, as well as a useful summary of some things (like hormesis). The reference sections were a useful jumping off place to dig deeper in areas that I found interesting, and I was able to use authors names and reference titles to search online databases and web sites for more information. It does talk about some newer work in analyzing why DR works, but of course, any book will be more out of date than the lastest research papers.

Of course, the 7th edition is out now and is 3 years newer. But I won't trade in my copy of the 6th, because there are things in it that won't be in the new editions.
