Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is an up-to-date, comprehensive reference for both wild and cultivated toxic plants on the North American continent. In addition to compiling and presenting information about the toxicology and classification of these plants published in the years since the appearance of the first edition, this edition significantly expands coverage of human and wildlife—both free-roaming and captive—intoxications and the roles of secondary compounds and fungal endophytes in plant intoxications.
More
than 2,700 new literature citations document identification of previously
unknown toxicants, mechanisms of intoxication, additional reports of intoxication
problems, and significant changes in the classification of plant families and
genera and associated changes in plant nomenclature. Toxic
Plants of North America, Second Edition is a comprehensive, essential resource
for veterinarians, toxicologists, agricultural extension agents, animal
scientists, and poison control professionals.
