520    This third edition of the Handbook of Poisonous and 
       Injurious Plants is designed to assist the clinician in 
       the initial response to the needs of a child or adult 
       exposed to a poisonous or injurious plant. It highlights 
       common and important plants that lead to the adverse 
       effects upon exposure, and it describes the mechanisms of 
       action of the implicated toxin, clinical manifestations, 
       and specific therapeutics, as available, for each. This 
       truly comprehensive resource is botanically rigorous with 
       insights from both the pharmacognosy and medical 
       literature. At the same time, it is also for those who are
       interested in growing and enjoying the plants in their 
       environment, filling in a not-often-discussed botanical 
       and horticultural niche that goes beyond their beautiful 
       physical appearance. Plants contain many useful chemicals 
       that humans have used for millennia as botanical 
       curatives. This book will help the reader understand the 
       fine balance between a medication and a poison, which 
       plants contain these natural substances, and their impact 
       on the human body.--Back cover.
