Books by John Emsley

Eight years after the highly acclaimed Molecules of Murder, John Emsley is again applying his winning formula to writing a book about crimes of murder and attempted murder carried out with natural and man-made poisons.

This accessible book aims to de-mystify the part chemicals play in the products we have in our home and what benefits they bring.

This lay person's guide explains the roles of chemistry in areas of life ranging from the entirely personal to the global.
