But as Emily Monosson demonstrates in her groundbreaking new book, it has always been toxic. When oxygen first developed in Earth‘s atmosphere, it threatened the very existence of life: now we literally can‘t live without it. According to Monosson, examining how life adapted to such early threats can teach us a great deal about today‘s (and tomorrow‘s) most dangerous contaminants. While the study of evolution has advanced many other fields of science, from biology to medicine, toxicology has yet to embrace this critical approach. In .Evolution in a Toxic World., Monosson seeks to change that. | 出版日期 | Book 2012Latest edition | 关键词 | Biology; Chemistry; Evolution; Toxic; ecotoxicology; Fish and Wildlife Biology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-221-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-221-1 | copyright | Emily Monosson 2012 |
