The most rewarding aspect of writing a book is receiving
encouraging comments from one's colleagues, since one always
wonders whether fair coverage was made of the work of others or
whether some omissions were made. I feel very fortunate that many
colleagues took the time to read the first edition of this book and
chose to use it as a textbook in their teaching. During the past
few years they have given me valuable suggestions by pointing out
areas that needed to be added to improve the book. Toxicology is
one of the fastest moving scientific fields. In the areas of
insecticide toxicology many new advances have been made since this
treatise first appeared. Therefore, it would not be easy to write
even a review paper that would not be outdated by the time it was
published. In revising this volume I have made a conscious effort
to adhere to the basic principles which have been developed over
the years. While I have retained the basic framework of the
original book, advances that fundamentally change certain concepts
or add a new horizon have been chosen for updating those fields
where applicable. The main emphasis has been placed on the addition
of new sections and new compounds developed since 1975. Since the
first edition appeared, several books covering technical details in
each group have been published. They are excellent encyclopedic
resources in their chosen areas, and are listed in each section as
recommended reading material.
