There has been a demand for a book like this for a long time. While older and more extensive treatments of toxicology for health professionals satisfy those who are headed for the toxicology profession, there's been little for everybody else. This book appears to have been carefully authored and scrupulously edited. Its visuals are quite outstanding, while it takes pains to examine very difficult topics such as how best to provide life support in contaminated areas. I give it a thumbs up!
