321 pages. "Only three decades ago, the prevailing image of the womb was that of a time capsule with a short lease, relatively impermeable to circulating drugs or toxicants. The mother's body was considered an altruistic reservoir, prepared to sacrifice itself to the fetus's sustenance. That the fetus was unsheltered from environmental toxicants was illuminated by two tragedies: the Minimata Bay epidemic of methyl mercury poisoning and the outbreak of thalidomide-induced phocomelia in Australia, England and Europe. The use of drugs during pregnancy began to receive close scruntiy." FINE HARDCOVER. Size: 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.

Riassunto

A summary of work in some of the most important areas of developmental toxicology, for clinicians, researchers, and public health specialists. Thirteen contributed chapters are organized in four sections: neurodevelopmental toxicology; toxicants well studied in humans; toxicants studied mainly in animals; and regulatory issues (one chapter "Reproductive Hazards in the Workplace: Lessons from UAW v. Johnson Controls "). Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Recensione

""This book... reads relatively easily, has good current references at the end of each chapter for those who want to dig deeper, has a few, helpful figures and tables and says what it has to say without much cant." -- Ronald B. Mack, M.D., Clinical Toxicology

"The book's central value lies in the compilation of a substantial and diverse literature that encompasses multiple lines of inquiry: neurological development, developmental assessment, the physiology of pregnancy, and toxicant impact data drawn from both human and animal research." -- Glenn T. Fujiura, Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
