Now in its fourth edition, this core text and standard reference in toxicology has once again been updated to incorporate the latest testing procedures and address new challenges faced by toxicologists. The author brings together more than 70 distinguished investigators to detail current testing procedures, offer guidelines on data interpretation and highlight major areas of controversy. The book deals with the methods of toxicology, as well as principles and agents. New chapters on exposure assessment and epidemiology for toxicologists have been added. The reader will find an in-depth look at the principles underlying toxicology, such as absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, as well as topics dealing with pharmacokinetics. Principles and Methods of Toxicology, Fourth Edition allows the working toxicologist, whether a senior professional or graduate student, to understand and use basic experiments in toxicology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent tox resource!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles and Methods of Toxicology (Hardcover)
I am a graduate student working on a PhD, and my emphasis is in tox/clinical sciences. This book is an excellent reference for anyone who wishes to exand their knowledge in tox theory and methodology! It's on my top shelf, right beside Casarett and Doulls. The organizational approach to this book is great, and pertinent examples are given in every section. Applause, applause.
5.0 out of 5 stars
I wish I had this book in grad school...,
This review is from: Principles and Methods of Toxicology, Fifth Edition (Hardcover)
This book is everything I ever wanted in a toxicology text and never had in school, because "the other" toxicology book was prescribed. Principles and Methods is near-seamlessly edited, rationally content-structured, and authored by experts with innate gifts of written communication. The Hayes text is such a breath of fresh air after using the other one for so many years that had substantial content overlap in various chapters, "holes" of content coverage that would seem obviously within the scope, and a too-skinny index. I strongly recommend this text to graduate students in toxicology, professional toxicologists, and our partners in pathology.
