This is perhaps one of the more intellectual stimulating toxicology books put out for the general public. Landis, unlike many of his modern day contemporaries, literally gives the reader an indepth insight into the discipline of toxicology as related to biology, chemistry, ecology, and general mathematics. Furthermore, the author significantly explains the beneficial use of Risk Assessments and Risk Analysis as related to ecotoxicity and exposure in the environment.

From an environmental science standpoint, the author communicates his ideas and theoretical/scientific idealms well to the reader for he or she to get a thorough understanding. Terms and scientific expressions as related to the field of environmental toxicology are well explained throughout the text.

This book is a must have for all those desiring a more detailed and thorough scientific and informative background in the field of environmental toxicology as it relates to ecotoxicity and environmental fate and exposure of chemicals in the enviroment.

Used this book for a toxicology class. Seemed well written, very up to date and not overly technical. A good read.
