Review
"I recommend this book to anyone who has ever listened to the evening news and wondered how much of the "chemical scare du jour" is hype and how much of it is fact – and to those who might want to understand basic concepts in toxicology and the related areas of study without having to trudge through a gaggle of 1000–page textbooks." (International Journal of Toxicology, 2011)
"Overall, this is a well–written work with wisely chosen and relevant topics. It will be a perfect addition to any science enthusiast′s library. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower–level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers." (Choice, 1 September 2011)
"The Dose Makes the Poison is more than just an introduction to toxicology. It is an enjoyable read with lots of interesting stories and one I can thoroughly recommend." (Chemistry & Industry, 25 July 2011)
"There is much to be applauded in this book from its straightforward layout and honesty to its accessibility . . . Many good, and contemporary, examples are provided to deliver greater context for the reader." (The British Toxicology Society Journal, 1 May 2011)
