"Exceptionally and impressively well written, organized and
presented, Modern Poisons: A Brief Introduction to Contemporary
Toxicology is unreservedly recommended"-- "Midwest Book Review"
"Most of our current toxicology textbooks overlook the social and
political aspects of the field. Kolok ably addresses this
deficiency...with engaging, brief overviews of the history of
chemical regulation in the U.S., how potentially dangerous
compounds are assessed, and some recent scientific developments
that are challenging the very foundations of the field...Everyone
who cares about healthier environments for our children and
families will benefit from reading Modern Poisons."-- "Center for
Environmental Health"
