An Introduction to Interdisciplinary Toxicology,
Edition 1 From Molecules to Man
Edited by Carey N. Pope and Jing Liu

Publication Date: 21 Feb 2020
Description

An Introduction to Interdisciplinary Toxicology: From Molecules to Man integrates the various aspects of toxicology, from “simple¿ molecular systems, to complex human communities, with expertise from a spectrum of interacting disciplines. Chapters are written by specialists within a given subject, such as a chemical engineer, nutritional scientist, or a microbiologist, so subjects are clearly explained and discussed within the toxicology context. Many chapters are comparative across species so that students in ecotoxicology learn mammalian toxicology and vice versa. Specific citations, further reading, study questions, and other learning features are also included.

The book allows students to concurrently learn concepts in both biomedical and environmental toxicology fields, thus better equipping them for the many career opportunities toxicology provides. This book will also be useful to those wishing to reference how disciplines interact within the broad field of toxicology.
