Review: History of Arsenic - Unsurprisingly this book covers the history of arsenic. Book overall was interesting and a quick read. There is a good source list at the end for further reading and author documents sources very well. The end is very abrupt and some transitions were odd. Enjoyed very much overall.
Review: I found this book very interesting, although I'd read a lot of the information about arsenic elsewhere. I'd certainly recommend it to those readers just starting on the subject of toxicology.
