Recenzje

Awarded the Highly Commended by the British Medical Association in the Basic and Clinical Sciences category of the Medical Book Competition.
"a classic toxicology reference since the 1950's. The only source available that has documented the changing trends in poisoning diagnosis and management through each of its editions over the past 50 years. …Overall, this is a classic handbook that I endorse as a practicing clinical toxicologist. It is a rapid practical reference that is full of useful up-to-date information. …Dr. Dreisbach and his associates are to be commended for the longevity of this historic book and their valuable contribution to poisoning prevention and management over the years."
