Continuing a long tradition, Lu's Basic Toxicology, Seventh
Edition, combines relatively comprehensive coverage of toxic
substances in food, air, and water with brevity, thereby continuing
to serve as an updated introductory text for toxicology students
and for those involved in allied sciences that require a background
in toxicology. The new edition, which now becomes an edited work
with contributions from experts around the globe, features four new
chapters and a number of existing chapters that have been updated
and expanded, notably those on mechanisms of toxic effects,
conventional toxicity studies, the cardiovascular system, and risk
assessment and regulatory toxicology. The book consists of four
parts (Part I-Part IV) that provide guidance on principles of
toxicology and testing procedures for toxicities as well as a
concise, yet detailed, mechanism of both target organ and nontarget
organ toxicities. The book is rounded off with a final section
(Part IV) on the toxic effects of chemicals and risk assessment,
giving toxicologists, both students and practicing professionals,
the necessary tools to enhance their practice. This edition
includes new chapters on Clinical Toxicology, Systems Toxicology,
Chemicals and Children, and Toxicology of Reproductive Systems,
providing the essentials of these topics in the same style as the
other chapters in the book. With separate subject and chemical
indexes, this is a useful, quick shelf reference for everyone
working in toxicology today.
Uptime describes the combination of activities that deliver fewer
breakdowns, improved productive capacity, lower costs, and better
environmental performance. The bestselling second edition of Uptime
has been used as a textbook on maintenance management in several
postsecondary institutions and by many companies as the model
framework for their maintenance management programs. Following in
the tradition of its bestselling predecessors, Uptime: Strategies
for Excellence in Maintenance Management, Third Edition explains
how to deal with increasingly complex technologies, such as mobile
and cloud computing, to support maintenance departments and set the
stage for compliance with international standards for asset
management. This updated edition reflects a far broader and deeper
wealth of experience and knowledge. In addition, it restructures
its previous model of excellence slightly to align what must be
done more closely with how to do it. The book provides a strategy
for developing and executing improvement plans that work well with
the new values prevalent in today's workforce. It also explains how
you can use seemingly competing improvement tools to complement and
enhance each other. This edition also highlights action you can
take to compensate for the gradual loss of skills in the current
workforce as "baby boomers" retire.
