This reference contains a staggering number of well-researched and commonly used terms from toxicology and related fields. Scientists from virtually every environmentally oriented field, from chemistry to nursing to agriculture, will find what they need in this dictionary. It features vast coverage of terms, from chemical names and pathogenic terms to official abbreviations, environmental topics, and biological definitions. Each entry categorizes all major definitions and usage, with extensive cross-references for synonyms and related entries.
Including nearly every major technical toxicological term as applied to both human and environmental studies, Lewis' Dictionary of Toxicology is broader and more comprehensive than any other to date. It is based on terms found in more than 600 journals, 15,000 reprints of scientific papers, and numerous leading reference sources.

This volume is a welcome addition to a discipline that has very few dictionaries. Nearly three times the size of Ernest Hodgson and others' Dictionary of Toxicology (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1988), this dictionary provides brief definitions for commonly used terms in toxicology and related fields. Scientists from every environmentally related field will find environmental terms and biological definitions, as well as chemical names, pathogenic terms, and abbreviations. Lewis has been an administrator for a variety of academic and government programs and has published numerous articles and books on such topics as environmental monitoring, hazardous wastes, and toxicology. Although plenty of information is given about the author, there is no other introductory material explaining his scope and purpose. There are extensive cross references for synonyms and related entries, but the user has to know that those entries with simple one-word definitions are indeed cross references. There are no illustrations, though it would have been helpful to have had at least the chemical structures. However, these few shortcomings do not detract from the work's usefulness.
