"Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions, by authors who have made substantial contributions in the field, is an advanced-level, comprehensive treatment of the subject. ...Anyone wishing to undertake QSAR analysis would be well advised to consult Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions. The references and the QSAR equations number in the hundreds with the latter incorporating dozens of different metal ions and their descriptors. ...The slow progress regarding an understanding of metal-ion toxicity should not deter the use of QSAR analyses in the future. ...So, let the QSAR studies continue with Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions as the indispensable guide and reference work." -Thomas B. Kinraide "By reading this book, I received a healthy refresher on basic inorganic chemistry and became more familiar with how chemical structure can predict biological responses. ...environmental chemists, toxicologists, or statisticians who work extensively with metal risk assessments or developing predictive models of metal toxicity will find this reference manual very handy for guiding their work." -Travis S. Schmidt, PhD, in Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
