Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, Eighth Edition - Tapa dura

"This is the eighth edition of the well-regarded Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, which has evolved from its early years as a series of interesting toxicologic cases to the definitive reference for the field of toxicology. This update comes four years after the seventh edition and it retains much that has made this an authoritative textbook, adds 30 new chapters, and a "new to this edition" online link to color photographs...The breadth of Goldfrank's new edition makes it worth purchasing for anyone who frequently, or even occasionally, treats toxicologic cases, even for those who own earlier editions. The editors and authors are to be commended for their compulsive revision, with attention to detail, every four years of this authoritative book. 4 Stars!"--Doody's Review Service Doody's 20060714 "New to the eighth edition of this essential reference is an electronic component, consisting of an online site containing the chapters on dermatology, plants, mushrooms, marine envenomations, snakes, and arthropods along with a critical portion of the illustrations. (A study guide and workbook are also found online.) The 8th ed. contains expanded treatment of chemical and biological weapons and the addition of thirty new chapters, including those on risk assessment, risk communication, and on patient safety and poison prevention with regard to public health. Single chapters on metals and rodenticides have now been divided into multiple chapters on individual metals and chemicals. The central use of case studies is maintained throughout."--Sci-Tech Book News Sci-Tech Book News 20060601
