About this book
"Up until now, there has been no book that covers arsenic with such breadth. This book is a general appreciation of how much the element, arsenic, has become part of our lives. Written in an entertaining style, it covers the years 1000 BC to the present day. The coverage of the chemistry, toxicology, and medicinal aspects is deliberately kept at a level for the general reader to understand. Is Arsenic an Aphrodisiac? The Sociochemistry of an Element covers the way in which this ubiquitous element and its compounds have influenced the lives of the people of the world."--Jacket.
