Table of Contents:

Volume 1: Practice of Toxicologic Pathology includes the principles and methods of toxicologic pathology and their application to practice.Volume 2: Safety Assessment and Other Issues in Toxicologic Pathology focuses on toxicologic pathology from a drug discovery and regulatory standpoint, including coverage of data interpretation and expanded content on environmental and food toxicology.Volume 3: Systems Toxicologic Pathology organizes toxicologic pathology by biological systems and addresses the basic structure and function of a particular organ system, its response to toxic injury, mechanisms of injury and methods of evaluation.

"...the long awaited third edition of this well-respected and essential contributor to toxicological pathology, toxicology and other biological and medical disciplines has been published. It is now presented in three volumes instead of two, and benefits tremendously from having colour illustrations throughout. It is straight forward to read and is laid out in a logical format." --btsNews, June 2014

"..this is the most comprehensive textbook yet published covering the various aspects of toxicological pathology in general, and it does a fair job in covering toxicology topics as well. Its scope and breadth of coverage will find it well placed within any toxicology laboratory and I cannot recommend it more highly. It should take pride of place in the library of any toxicology laboratory and should be an indispensable text for pathologists and toxicologists..." --Toxicologic Pathology, January 31, 2014

"Occasionally, a book becomes available that sets a new standard for a subspecialty, and such is the case for the third Edition...This substantially sized...and exceptionally compiled and useful book gathers extensive knowledge from the field of toxicologic pathology as well as tangential and integrative areas...the third edition of this handbook lends itself to being a reference book that reads like an accessible and helpful textbook." --Veterinary Pathology, Vol 51(1), 2014

"The 3 volumes are well organized, and the editors have endeavored to provide clearer and more complete content description for chapter titles that will be easier for nonpathologist to recognize....This...handbook belongs on the physical- or e-shelf of practitioners of toxicologic pathology and toxicology and needs to be in the communal library of a broad range of individuals in life sciences who interact with toxicologic pathologists." --International Journal of Toxicology, December 2, 2013

"The 2 volumes are excellent companions that complement each other as a "1,2" punch! This publication should be on the bookshelf of clinical toxicologists, environmental professionals and laboratory investigators..." --VETERINARY AND HUMAN TOXICOLOGY (October 2002)

"...gives an excellent overview of the numerous processes associated with toxicologic pathology as used in risk assessment. It stands alone as a classic textbook in toxicology, or would be an excellent supplement to other such books. ...Its readability will allow acceptance to all scientists ranging from undergraduate to experienced industry/regulatory professional." --Paul Baldrick for THE BRITISH TOXICOLOGY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER (Spring 2002)

"...very readable, well-referenced, and current... an excellent book for research training." --DOODY'S
