ISBN10: 0192806009, ISBN13: 9780192806000, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Softcover Paperback. This book is about elements that kill. Mercury, arsenic, antimony, lead, and thallium can be lethal, as many a poisoner knew too well. Emsley explores the gruesome history of these elements and those who have succumbed to them in a fascinating narrative that weaves together stories of true crime, enduring historical mysteries, tragic accidents, and the science behind it all. The colourful cast includes ancient alchemists, kings, leaders, a pope, several greatmusicians, and a motley crew of murderers. Among the intriguing accounts is that of the 17th century poet Sir Thomas Overbury, who survived four attempts to poison him with mercury but died when given thepoison in enema form - under whose direction remains uncertain.

Hatters went mad because of mercury poisoning, and hundreds of young girls working in factories manufacturingwallpaper in the 19th century were ...
