"Based on personal observation and reports from toxicological, veterinary, chemical, botanical, and physiological literature, Toxic Plants of North America covers toxic plants - both wild and planted - found on the North American continent north of the Tropic of Cancer." "Covers both animal and human intoxications with pertinent information, including: plant morphology and distribution, associated disease problem(s); toxicants and their mechanisms of action, clinical signs and pathologic changes of intoxicants, and treatment approaches." "The text's intuitive layout allows readers to either scan the key words, illustrations, and distribution maps as a quick reference or delve into an in-depth review of morphologic features, mechanisms of intoxication, and other relevant information. Includes a glossary of botanical, toxicological, physiological, and chemical terms...plus a comprehensive index and extensive bibliography." "Complete information source for: veterinarians, agricultural-extension agents, animal scientists, horticulturists, botanists, toxicologists, physicians, pharmacists, agronomists, wildlife biologists, farmers, ranchers, and the general public."--BOOK JACKET.
