Most Delicious Poison

Noah Whiteman holding a copy of his book, Most Delicious Poison.

Proud to announce the publication of Most Delicious Poison. Written with the help of a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Geggenheim Memorial Foundation. Overall, the book traces how toxins from nature changed the world–the natural and the human–from the origin of land plants and animals to the diversification of each lineage over the past 400 million years, to the Spice Trade, the Opium War, and the Opioid Epidemic. The print book is published in North America by Little Brown Spark (Hachette), in the UK and Commonwealth by Oneworld Publications, and the audiobook by Audible. The book was fortunate to receive a Kirkus Star.
