This is a fantastic and detailed toxinology resource for the biologist, healthcare professional or advanced student. It is written like a toxinology textbook of sorts. Almost all major groups of venomous and poisonous organisms are covered in detail.

For medical personnel, herpetologists or toxinologists, this is a definite MUST HAVE! I cannot imagine that any Emergency Room physician in any city in the world would not have access to a copy of this book. Covers venom components and effects, symptomology, case histories, treatment and lists a table of antivenoms for medically significant species. I don't know what I would do without it.
