"Biogenic toxins are fascinating natural products characterized by an enormous diversity of chemical structures and pharmacological activities. They not only pose hazards to humans and animals, but they are important components in the interplay of substances and living beings in nature and, moreover, important sources for new drugs.

The present book is the second volume of the 5-volume series ""Natural Poisons and Venoms"". Volumes 1-3 cover poisons produced by plants, volume 4 summarizes poisons and venoms of animals and volume 5 deal with poisons of fungi, cyanobacteria, and other microorganisms.

Numerous images of plants and chemical structural formulas complete the book. Extensive lists of literature references are given.

The handbook is intended for physicians, veterinarians, pharmacists, chemists, biochemists, food chemists and biologists, for the students in the relevant fields, and also for interested laymen.

You will be informed about all aspects of natural toxins based on the latest knowledge."
