Reviews

"""This book presents a set of 21 well-chosen, up to date, reviews of a range of important topics of direct interest to neurotoxicologists in particular, but also to anyone with an interest in animal models of nervous system disease or in pathogenesis. As the title of this proposed series of volumes implies, the editors intend to cover the whole of the field, by adding further volumes in response to reader's requests - so no excuses for gaps!...The coverage is wide...It would be a pity if the emphasis on drugs of abuse put non-specialists off buying the book, because the strong mechanistic treatment of many of the chapters emphasizes the useful parallels with other, less ""stimulating"", neurotoxic agents. This is certainly not a book just about overdose pharmacology. "" - Newsletter of the British Toxicological Society ""The Handbook of Neurotoxicology is an essential addition to the library of any serious researcher in any field of neurotoxicology and should be available in all university libraries where chemistry, biochemistry, or medical or life sciences are studied."" - Journal of Natural Products ""Both volumes are laid out attractively...and contain much valuable information on the pharmacological aspects of neurotoxicology, as well as state-of-the-art methodology."" Le Journal Canadien Des Sciences Neurologies"
