This review is from: Hepatotoxicity: The Adverse Effects of Drugs and Other Chemicals on the Liver (Hardcover)
This book is the result of a life's work in the field by Zimmerman. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and have used it for the last year, and found it to be very complete and detailed. It is a terrific resource. If you need a book that discusses all the aspects of liver injury for all manner of drugs and compounds, this is the book to buy.
