This booklet is intended primarily as an entry point for discussion with the students you advise. I do not pretend to represent what you, as advisor, expect or what your program requires. Instead, you will find, throughout the booklet I urge the student to talk with you and your colleagues about the particular emphases and expectations of your discipline, subdiscipline, department and program. The information in this booklet is offered as a way to start the discussion.
From "Preface to the first edition" Toxicology is a multidisciplinary subject, which has a large and diffuse literature and it is developing rapidly. Bringing this information together is difficult and time consuming for the student. This book, therefore, has arisen from my awareness of the need for an introductory text for myself and for my own students and its content is largely based upon the information I have amassed in the preparation of lectures for these same students.

This magazine showcases the most advanced international fashion designers and their innovative ideas in architecture, home fashions and the decorative arts. It provides the latest information on the top interior designers and architects and offers a detailed shopping guide in each issue.
But the book is much more than tips and tools and techniques. It also provides information on various learning-situation elements—skewed information, perhaps, but as S/oren Kierkegaard observed, “Education without bias is like love without passion.” You’ll hear my educational-beliefs coming through: I don’t believe, for example, in long lectures. I’m opposed to death by PowerPoint. I think people have to get involved in order to get educated. I prefer table groups to lecture-hall seating.
When aircraft of the Vietnam War was published, one of the critical reviews I received lamented the lack of coverage of Army Aviation. The reviewer correctly pointed out that the Army had far more aircraft in Vietnam then any other service, and on that basis they should receive a proportionate amount of space. That is logic that is hard to refute, and I will not try. I can only say that photos and information concerning Army Aviation have not been easy to come by, and were it not for the interest and efforts of one Army Aviator, this book would never have come to fruition.
