A good representation of Toxicology, possibly even for beginners. Some chapters were a bit unfulfilling and lack-luster, as well as wordy. Questions at the end of chapters did not necessarily comprise the major points identified within the chapters, they were often pulled from minor topics. I personally love Toxicology, but am not great at chemistry and I was able to pull through with this textbook.

Scary stuff, I know entirely too much about molds, carcinogens, and toxins in general now.
