Poison: Sinister Species With Deadly Consequences (American Museum of Natural History)

Author: Dr. Mark Siddall & Megan Gavin
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


I liked this one. A rarity of museum books, it covers topics behind the current AMoNH exhibit on poisons with the focus of toxic animals. Well written with good commentary and insight, it is also a bit snarky at times. Seems to fit the subject as the book often goes into detail of what x doofus did wrong to find themselves dead or nearly so. In that aspect it also carries a definite "nature can still whup us" tone throughout.
