"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." -- Lecturer Adina Dunitrascu, Technical University 'Gh. Asachi' of Iasi, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, in IPM - Iasi Polytechnic Magazine, Vol. 17, No. 1 / 4, March/December 2005 "Here is a very different and welcome text bringing a fresh and thoughtful approach to an increasingly urgent research topic. ... Both translation and editing are good and retain the author's lively, engaging style, together with the quirky humor which gifted teachers use so effectively to imprint student memory with essential facts ... [T]he content makes the book easy to understand and assimilate. ...

Synopsis
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., Environmental-friendliness, issues of public health, and the pros and cons of genetically-modified crops all receive regular coverage in the world's media. This, in turn, has led to increased questioning and investigation of chemical pesticides. Stenersen's concise and timely introduction to chemical pesticides describes these compounds according to their mode of action at the cellular and biochemical level. Chemical Pesticides provides answers to questions such as why pesticides are toxic to the target organism and why pesticides are toxic to some organisms and not others. It describes 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. By providing an integrated, yet simple description of modern chemical pesticides, the author provides a relevant text for professionals and students in biological disciplines such as biochemistry, medicine, agriculture, and veterinary science.
