About this book

Neil Bradbury combines popular science, medical history and accounts of crime to explain how harmful substances affect the body. His discussion works at the molecular, cellular and physiological levels, connecting different symptoms with different chemical actions. The focus is on biological mechanisms, including why identifying a substance can sometimes guide treatment and sometimes offers no remedy.

About the author

Neil Bradbury

Bradbury teaches physiology at a medical school in Chicago, and A Taste for Poison takes eleven poisons, explains precisely what each does to a cell, and hangs a real murder case on every chapter: insulin, atropine, ricin, polonium. The chemistry is the point and the crimes carry it along.
