✦ Synopsis
A variety of basic areas of study are relevant to genetic toxicologists. It is imperative, therefore, that all individuals asociated with environmental mutagenesis research are cognizant of, and routinely review, fundamental topics, so that individual lines of research can be better interrelated into an ever-expanding network.
Three books are available, each of which presents an exciting and important perspective on a unique area of study of importance to genetic toxicologists. Collectively these books provide a diverse background upon which to base judgments about past data and impetus for future research.
