Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 3540612599. Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, Volume 124/I. Hardcover, from closed pharmaceutical company library, appears unread. 638 pages, index, illustrated with charts, tables, colour photos and diagrams. Prevention of birth defects caused by exogenous chemicals is a goal of both primary care providers, drug developers, experimental teratologists, and risk assessors.

These volumes provide the first comprehensive compilation of material focused on the understanding of the mechanism of action of chemicals which cause birth defects. A valuable reference work for clinicians, health councilors, teratologists, developmental biologists and risk assessors. Contents clean, tight and bright.…
