520    All public health professionals should have some level of 
       knowledge of the basic principles of Toxicology. Whether 
       dealing with issues as diverse as a workers' compensation 
       claim for a job-related exposure and injury or the removal
       of toxic wastes from an urban community, public health 
       professionals must be able to communicate with each other,
       the public, and our political leaders concerning how 
       chemicals can, and the conditions under which they may, 
       realistically produce harm. Principles and Practice of 
       Toxicology in Public Health provides students with an 
       understanding of the nature and scope of the discipline, 
       so that they may be prepared to participate in a 
       meaningful way in the often highly visible problem-solving
       and decision-making processes required of public health 
       professionals. In four sections, it offers an introduction
       to the field, as well as the basics of toxicology 
       principles, systemic toxicity, and toxicology practice. 
       The text is immediately readable for the student with 
       little technical background. The Second Edition is a 
       thorough update that has been expanded with a new chapter 
       on endocrine toxicology.
