Book Description
Sex, drugs, rocks, gold, murder, war, Napoleon, Tchaikovsky and Mozart are all linked by one element - Arsenic! Arsenic has become part of our lives. The word has become a metaphor for poison, it has shock value and the public are fearful of exposure to it. In this engaging text the author takes the reader through many topics to offer an understanding of the science but without delving into too much technical detail. In each chapter questions are addressed such as: How toxic is arsenic anyway? Kelp products contain Arsenic -is this harmful? How did Napoleon die? Essential reading for everyone with a general interest in science, this illuminating text covers a broad range of topics.
