Description

Poison is the ultimate guide to surviving in the natural world. Whether you are in the woods, on the beach, in your backyard, or at the dinner table, be warned and prepared! Poison offers a unique look at how and where poisons and venoms naturally occur in reptiles, insects, and other creatures. From the plains of the Outback to the jungles of Madagascar, Dr. Mark Siddall arms you with the in-depth and valuable knowledge he has gleaned from his scientific jaunts around the world. His keen observations and sage advice are organised for anyone in a pinch-literally. In addition to his witty and lyrical take on these deadly creatures and curious occurrences, Siddall also discusses the various purposes poison has served throughout history. Seventy-five clever entries are organised in the following categories for the curious and concerned: things that sting, bite, one shouldn't touch, and one shouldn't eat. Each entry also features black-and-white illustrations hand drawn by Megan Gavin. Whether placed on the tip of a blowgun dart used by the Noanamá Choco Nation for hunting or secretly employed as a deadly murder weapon, poison is, indeed, all around us.
