You are bidding on a paperback copy of Poison: Deadly Deeds, Perilous Professions, and Murderous Medicines by Sarah Albee for young adults.

• Science geeks and armchair detectives will soak up this non-lethal, humorous account of the role poisons have played in human history. 
• Perfect for STEM enthusiasts!
• For centuries, people have been poisoning one another--changing personal lives and the course of empires alike.
• From spurned spouses and rivals, to condemned prisoners like Socrates, to endangered emperors like Alexander the Great, to modern-day leaders like Joseph Stalin and Yasser Arafat, poison has played a starring role in the demise of countless individuals. 
• And those are just the deliberate poisonings. Medical mishaps, greedy "snake oil" salesmen and food contaminants, poisonous Prohibition, and industrial toxins also impacted millions.
• Part history, part chemistry, part whodunit, Poison: Deadly Deeds, Perilous Professions, and Murderous Medicines traces the role poisons have played in history from antiquity to the present and shines a ghoulish light on the deadly intersection of human nature . . . and Mother Nature.
• In very good, like new condition, without any rips, tears or stains. Crease on copyright page.
