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.

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.

pages 2185 - 2216 are missing in the book (i.e. part of glosary and index). nonetheless, the book is an interesting read.

Kindly note that this is the fourth edtion, which was first published in 2000 and the e-version was in 2006 (not 2009 as mentioned above). The latest printed fifth edition appeared in 2007. Order the hardcover if digital copy is not a must.
