Recenzii
“The book extending over 276 pages, is structured in 10 chapters which all are reviewing the up-to-date researchers and findings that concern the mode of actions and toxicology of chemical pesticides. … is the unitary manner of treating the approached topics in every chapter aimed to five both general information as well as the up-to-date researchers and findings based on the recent literature. The book is useful to academicians, scientists, students, as well as industrials working in the field of pesticides.”

“This book provides answers to questions such as why pesticides are toxic to the target organism and why they are toxic to some organisms and not to others. This concise and timely introduction describes these compounds according to their mode of action at the cellular and biochemical level. It describes how various poisons interfere with biochemical processes in organisms … The book also explores how resistance to pesticides develops … .

Descriere
By providing an integrated, yet simple description of modern chemical pesticides, this concise and timely introduction describes these compounds according to their mode of action at the cellular and biochemical level. The author discusses why pesticides are toxic to the target organism, why pesticides are toxic to some organisms and not others, and how various poisons interfere with biochemical processes in organisms. The book also explores how resistance to pesticides develops, how resistance can be used to illustrate the theory of evolution, and how it can be used to produce herbicide-resistant crop plants. Legal matters and potential environmental problems are also discussed.
