Description: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean Calabar By: Peter Macinnis Narrated by: Stephen Hoye Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 02-24-13 Categories: Health & Wellness, Medicine & Health Care Industry Language: English Publisher: Audible Studios Format: mp3 64/48 stereo A wide-ranging and provocative look - teeming with little-known facts and engaging stories - at a subject of the direst interest. Poisons permeate our world. They are in the environment, the workplace, the home. They are in food, our favorite whiskey, medicine, well water. They have been used to cure disease as well as incapacitate and kill. They smooth wrinkles, block pain, stimulate, and enhance athletic ability. In this entertaining and fact-filled audiobook, science writer Peter Macinnis considers poisons in all their aspects. He recounts stories of the celebrated poisoners in history and literature, from Nero to Thomas Wainewright, and from the death of Socrates to Hamlet and Peter Pan. He discusses the sources of various poisons - from cyanide to strychnine, from Botox to ricin and Sarin gas - as well as their detection. Then he analyzes the science of their action in the body and their uses in medicine, cosmetics, war, and terrorism. With wit and precision, he weighs such questions as: Was Lincoln’s volatility caused by mercury poisoning? Was Jack the Ripper an arsenic eater? Can wallpaper kill? For anyone who has ever wondered and been afraid to ask, here is a rich miscellany for your secret questions about toxins. ©2004, 2011 Peter Macinnis (P)2012 Audible, Inc. 24/7 Seedbox Support | |
