Abstract
The 4th edition of Haschek and Rousseaux’s Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, edited by Wanda Haschek, Colin Rousseaux, Matthew Wallig, and Brad Bolon is extensively updated to continue its comprehensive and timely coverage. Due to unrelenting explosion of information in this field requiring new and updated chapters, this has required expansion to 4 volumes which are being published separately.
Volume 1, “Principles and the Practice of Toxicologic Pathology,” has just been published by Elsevier and is now available as hardcover (ISBN: 9780128210444) and ebook (ISBN: 9780128218297). It is discussed in more detail below. Volume 2, currently in press, encompasses “Toxicologic Pathology in Safety Assessment” and “Environmental Toxicologic Pathology.” These two sections cover the application of toxicologic pathology in developing specific product classes, principles of data interpretation for safety assessment, and toxicologic pathology of major classes of environmental toxicants. Volumes 3 and 4, currently in preparation, provide deep and broad treatment of “Target Organ Toxicity,” emphasizing the comparative and correlative aspects of normal biology and toxicant-induced dysfunction, principal methods for toxicologic pathology evaluation, and major mechanisms of toxicity.
Volume 1: “Principles and Practice of Toxicologic Pathology” is a key reference that examines the integration of structure and functional changes in tissues associated with the response to pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biologics. This volume, ably guided by Associate Editors Stacey Fossey and John Vahle and Illustrations Editor Beth Mahler, covers the practice of toxicologic pathology in four sections: Principles of Toxicologic Pathology, Methods in Toxicologic Pathology, Animal and Alternative Models in Toxicologic Research (new section), and the Practice of Toxicologic Pathology. Completely revised with a number of new chapters, Volume 1 of the Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology is an essential part of the authoritative reference on toxicologic pathology for pathologists, toxicologists, research scientists, health professionals and regulators studying and making decisions on drugs, biologics, medical devices, and other chemicals, including agrochemicals and environmental contaminants.
