Book excerpt: "Fascinating…one of history’s most important poisons—and most important murders." —Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner’s Handbook Available at any corner shop for little money and, because tasteless, difficult to detect in food or drink, arsenic was so frequently used by potential beneficiaries of wills in the first half of the nineteenth century that it was nicknamed “the inheritor’s powder.” But after wealthy George Bodle died under suspicious circumstances, leaving behind several heirs, the chemist James Marsh was brought in to see if he could create an accurate test pinpointing the presence of arsenic and put this Victorian scourge to rest. Incisive and wryly entertaining, science writer Sandra Hempel brings to life a gripping story of domestic infighting, wayward police behavior, other true-crime poisonings, and an unforgettable foray into the origins of forensic science. She also solves this almost two-hundred year-old crime.

Book Synopsis Brush with Death by : Christian Warren
Download or read book Brush with Death written by Christian Warren and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Arthur Viseltear Award for Outstanding Book in the History of Public Health from the American Public Health AssociationSelected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title During the twentieth century, lead poisoning killed thousands of workers and children in the United States. Thousands who survived lead poisoning were left physically crippled or were robbed of mental faculties and years of life. In Brush with Death, social historian Christian Warren offers the first comprehensive history of lead poisoning in the United States. Focusing on lead paint and leaded gasoline, Warren distinguishes three primary modes of exposure—occupational, pediatric, and environmental. This threefold perspective permits a nuanced exploration of the regulatory mechanisms, medical technologies, and epidemiological tools that arose in response to lead poisoning. Today, many children undergo aggressive "deleading" treatments when their blood-lead levels are well below the average blood-lead levels found in urban children in the 1950s. Warren links the repeated redefinition of lead poisoning to changing attitudes toward health, safety, and risk. The same changes that transformed the social construction of lead poisoning also transformed medicine and health care, giving rise to modern environmentalism and fundamentally altered jurisprudence.

Download or read book The Powder, Their Paper and Pools of Blood written by Mark Hunter and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrity is a word which was uttered on nightly newscasts for months after an anonymous but calculating White House intern introduced herself to the President. Integrity is a word emblazoned on the front page of every law enforcement manual in the country and it’s a concept affirmed by every individual who ever accepts a position of public trust. Its also a notion which is the focus of The Powder, Their Paper and Pools of Blood. This novel is a first person account of a DEA Agent, initially an honorable young man with noble intentions to pursue a vocation in federal law enforcement. As his career progresses, he permits himself to become seduced by the enviable lifestyles of those he investigates. He begins by pocketing purposeless trinkets and trivial amounts of money, rationalizing his behavior each and every time he consummates an act that he recognizes to be morally repugnant. The ease by which the Agent, Mark Connors, consummates his thefts nourishes his appetite for more lucrative and exciting acts of dishonesty until he is a witness to the most deplorable act one human being can do to another. The Powder, Their Paper and Pools of Blood is a dark and captivating slice of fiction which includes accurate information about real tactics employed by the agents and offices of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
