These eight chapters, reflecting the contributions and insights of scientists from academia, industry, and government, offer a state-of-the-science assessment of how we characterize and quantify human variability and how that information might influence current thinking about risk assessment. - Alex Malaspina, President, International Life Sciences Institute, from the Foreword This edited volume addresses an important and timely issue, namely how variability in human susceptibility to disease should be reflected in environmental risk assessment... it provides a wealth of information useful for academics, researchers and practioners in the field of risk assessment. For the statistician interested in methodology related to risk assessment, the volume can provide invaluable insight into the way toxicologists and risk assessors think about population versus individual risk and susceptibility... this provocative book can generate many interesting new ideas and provides perfect fodder for creative thinking on new statistical methodology for environmental risk assessment. - Statistics in Medicine, vol. 20, no. 14, July 2001
