Excellent tox resource!!

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.
