From the reviews:

"Immunotoxicology focuses on the undesirable effects of chemicals on the immune system. … The editor of this encyclopedia has attempted to include contributions that approach the subject from both the immunology and toxicology points of view. … The appendix contains a list of entries in alphabetic order … . The encyclopedia is highly recommended for science collections in large public, community college, and academic libraries." (Laura J. Bender, ARBA online, Vol. 38, 2007)
