Toxicological evaluations: potential health hazards of existing chemicals Book

As far as literature anthologies go, this book is pretty standard fare, and even though it unjustifiably includes "Voyageur Sans Baggages" as an example of good drama, I might be inclined to give this collection 2.5 stars.

But that the authors' French--used to explain literary devices like meter, rhyme and character formation--is way too ponderous. I know this is le casserole calling le panier "noir," but when you can't write in French, just use English. Such discussions of literary devices are important, but they can be in English and leave the student to read the French passages to the actual literature in the anthology. By the way,"proemes" (apparently, "prose poems") is a ridiculous word. I don't think the editors invented it, but they shouldn't have used it.
