This volume is dedicated to the memory of Ivar Tidestrom, one of several plant taxonomists traversing the western United States in the early 1900s. Without the systematic identification and description of plants and fungi, study of their toxins would be difficult, confirmatory experiments on sepa rate accessions would be impossible, and much valuable research time would be lost. Those who study natural toxins owe a great deal to taxonomists. Ivar Tidestrom made several botanical journeys in the early twentieth century in the western United States from Colorado to California and from southern Arizona to central Idaho. By 1925 he had described and deposited in the U.S. National Herbarium nearly 8000 specimens. His book Flora of Utah and Nevada, published in 1925, has been a valuable aid to many researchers since that time. In this photo Ivar Tidestrom is shown on one of his many bota nizing trips, but in this instance with a handful of kittens rather than plants (photograph used with permission of the Journal of Natural Products).

PREFACE TO THE HANDBOOK
Natural toxins are unique toxins which possess some common properties, whether they are obtained from plants, microorganisms, or animals. One common characteristic is that they exert a pronounced effect on the metabolism and biological functions of the intoxicated animals with just a minute quantity. Since ancient times human beings have pondered the physiological effects of various toxins and venoms. How do these natural poisons work? Despite possessing some common nature, each toxin, however, has its unique mode of action and its own characteristic structure.
Drugs are compounds that have specific beneficial effects with a minute quantity. Usually, natural toxins also have very specific effects. Therefore, it is not surprising that many natural toxins are potentially good drugs.
Heretofore, the study of each field of toxins has been taking an independent pathway. Scientists in a specific toxin field are often unaware of the activity in other toxin fields. It is thus desirable to have a primary source of information on all natural toxins so that scientists in a specific discipline of toxin research can easily obtain useful information from other toxin researchers.
This seven-volume handbook of toxins includes the following volumes:
