Product Description
A bold new novel about the intersection of art, love, fame, and money from the acclaimed author of Dogeaters.

Jessica Hagedorn's edgy and entertaining new novel centers on the lives of two women who are neighbors in Manhattan's West Village. Mimi Smith is a filmmaker of low-budget slasher movies in search of new material. Her neighbor Eleanor Delacroix is a legendary writer of erotic fiction, now nearing eighty and addicted to cocaine and gin. Their personal and artistic lives begin to collide in unexpected ways as Eleanor grieves over the recent death of her live-in lover, the renowned painter Yvonne Wilder, and as Mimi deals with the challenges presented by her newly sober brother Carmelo; her drug-dealing boyfriend, who has mysteriously disappeared; and her wayward fourteen-year-old daughter, Violet. Looming over all these characters is the ghost of Agnes-an "illegal" and cousin of Mimi's who might have been murdered by her New Jersey employers. Toxicology is a dark yet playful exploration of money, desire, mortality, and the connection between creativity and self-destruction. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding And A Credit To Environmental Toxicology
After thoroughly perusing the pages of this textbook, it became clearly that the author, W. W. Hughes,touches on every topic and subtopicassociated with the discipline of Environmental Toxicology.

Unlike othertextbooks dealing with the same scientific discipline,Hughes does notappear to be unitalented or uniknowledgable when dealing with thediscipline of environmental toxicology. Rather, Hughes shows that he isvery knowledgable aboutthisdiscipline as well as its many subareas andtopics.This textbook touches on everyarea and related subarea ofenvironmental toxicology from organ toxicity and specificty tothe finercomponents of a detailed and scientifically adequate riskassessment.

Moreover, the author breaks down the various classes ofenvironmental pesticides for the reader in terms of names, biochemicalclass,solubility in water, and their Modes of Actions on terrestrials,aquatic, and invertebrate species.

This textbook is a must for anystudent, instructor, government biologist/chemist/toxicologist, orindustrialist desiring a more indepth and perhaps more scientific knowledgeabout the components which are used in the discipline of environmentaltoxicology.

Hughes makes sure this textbook stands out as an informativescience novel from an environmental point of view. It is a must-readtextbook that will definitely hold the reader's interest for a long periodof time. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A must have reference handbook for Toxicologists and Regulatory Scientists
This book is recommended for both regulatory scientists and toxicologists dealing with metals exposures.The first 16 chapters cover fundamental concepts in metals toxicology and provide good coverage of factors important in health risk assessment.These preliminary chapters detail for the reader the myriad of issues that need to be taken into account when assessing metals and environmental data while drawing on relevant literature to illustrate points being made.Detailed reviews of individual metals are provided in subsequent chapters and it is invaluable having such in-depth coverage in a single volume.It would appear that some chapters were initially written a couple of years prior to publication so that the most recent information is not always included, but this is to be expected in such a publication.This handbook is highly recommended for anyone dealing with the toxicology of metals and is a must have for toxicologists involved in the assessment of environmental data.
