A Deathly Compendium of Poisonous Plants by Rebecca E. Hirsch
"A Deadly Compendium of Poisonous Plants is not only educational, but enthralling - I read it in one sitting. I loved learning about the folklore and true crime associated with each plant, and the dark humor is perfect for the subject matter.

Quotes by Mary Kay Carson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“The Big Bang theory says that billions of years ago, a great explosion created all of space, matter, light, and even time. The clock of the cosmos starting ticking as all the stored energy in the explosion changed into matter. Einstein’s E = mc2 explains it, actually. An enormous eruption of energy flies apart, converting E into mass, or m. The earliest matter was just particles and atoms, but those eventually formed stars, solar systems, and planets.”
