This new fifth edition of Information Resources in Toxicology
offers a consolidated entry portal for the study, research, and
practice of toxicology. Both volumes represents a unique,
wide-ranging, curated, international, annotated bibliography, and
directory of major resources in toxicology and allied fields such
as environmental and occupational health, chemical safety, and risk
assessment. The editors and authors are among the leaders of the
profession sharing their cumulative wisdom in toxicology's
subdisciplines. This edition keeps pace with the digital world in
directing and linking readers to relevant websites and other online
tools. Due to the increasing size of the hardcopy publication, the
current edition has been divided into two volumes to make it easier
to handle and consult. Volume 1: Background, Resources, and Tools,
arranged in 5 parts, begins with chapters on the science of
toxicology, its history, and informatics framework in Part 1. Part
2 continues with chapters organized by more specific subject such
as cancer, clinical toxicology, genetic toxicology, etc. The
categorization of chapters by resource format, for example,
journals and newsletters, technical reports, organizations
constitutes Part 3. Part 4 further considers toxicology's presence
via the Internet, databases, and software tools. Among the
miscellaneous topics in the concluding Part 5 are laws and
regulations, professional education, grants and funding, and
patents. Volume 2: The Global Arena offers contributed chapters
focusing on the toxicology contributions of over 40 countries,
followed by a glossary of toxicological terms and an appendix of
popular quotations related to the field. The book, offered in both
print and electronic formats, is carefully structured, indexed, and
cross-referenced to enable users to easily find answers to their
questions or serendipitously locate useful knowledge they were not
originally aware they needed. Among the many timely topics
receiving increased emphasis are disaster preparedness,
nanotechnology, -omics, risk assessment, societal implications such
as ethics and the precautionary principle, climate change, and
children's environmental health.
