I chose this book after reading the Poisoner's Handbook. The Poisoner's Handbook was more informative, truly the story of the beginnings of forensic pathology. Most of this book is the story of actual poisonings, mostly in the U.K., some in U.S. Also explanations of poisonings going back to how Nero came into power in Rome, to Handel and Beethoven's plausible poisonings, resulting in Beethoven's deafness. This book can be read in any order of Chapters, as it tells several 'stories' and not one cohesive 'tale' like the fabulous Poisoners Handbook. This was a very interesting, informative book and I certainly recommend it.
The subject is well researched. The syntax is very British. It was very dry, dry,dry. I read "vomiting" and it's decription as a reaction to almost every possible poison so many times, I thought I would! The "Poisoners Handbook" is much better and easier to read and understand. As a Chemistry teacher, looking for interesting reading, I have to say this book was NOT that interesting. The science was spot on,but not enough to motivate many to plow through this very long and dry reading. I was the only one who finished it in my book discussion group. We're all scientists!
This is a fascinating book. As I read about mercury, I remember seeing a large tube of the mercury ointment that my Grandmother told me was to help heal any scratches or wounds to her skin. I planned to sit back and enjoy a good read about the elements and their effect on our bodies. This book is easy to read. It is not text bookish. As a seasoned, experienced RN, I am learning many new things while I read. It is like actually having fun while I am in class"
Very erudite book. written more from a scientist perspective than the average person. Package arrived promptly and in very good shape.
From the title of my review a portion of the reading audience may be turned off; a combination of CHEMISTRY and HISTORY - not everyones favorite subjects in high school! However, if you enjoyed these subjects then John Emsley has written the book for you! We are acquainted with several "Elements" (although they are all examined as compounds - something I found to be a little misleading - Arsenic Trioxide, Lead Oxide, Antimony Sulphide, Metheyl Mercury are the compounds and not singular elements) and how they can do us harm. We are told of each elements colourful history, its discovery and how it had been used in some very bad deeds. This is clearly the most entertaining part - Emsley wirtes as if he was a Jr. version of Sherlock Holmes in exploring the facts of the case. Each murder is fully detailed with the fate of the poisoner given as the concluion. I was a little hesitant about giving 5 stars - for a book on murder by poison I had hoped that cyanide would be covered. However, under the context of "The ELEMENTS of murder" cyanide is never mentioned. I am puzzled because every murder described is not by the raw element, but by a compound of the element. Regardless, to cyanides exclusion, I can still highly recommend "The Elements of Murder: A History of Poison to all history and chemistry fans.
John Emsley walks the fine line between science and crime writing here. Some have complained that the book is too scientific and does not focus enough on the crimes committed with various poisonous elements, but how can the author offer a comprehensive history of poisons without explaining their composition, history and effects?The book collects quite a bit of juicy information. For example, it tells us just about everything we'd want to know about lead, how it caused gout in the 1800s, how it probably poisoned the aristocracy of Rome AND Vincent van Gogh, and why it was so popular in paint.I enjoyed the whole book and found information there that is difficult to find elsewhere.
I really didn't have an interest in poison until I heard Mr. Emsley on the radio. This book has a lot of history in it and being a history buff I found it really enjoyable. I've learned a great deal about the subject and was really suprised to find how much we are actually exposed to poisons on a daily basis. I was worried that perhaps this may be a rather dry book, but let me assure you it isn't. I found it very entertaing and would recommed it to anyone who has an interest in history or reading about true crime. Or even if you just want to make your boyfriend nervous!
