  This program includes an epilogue and acknowledgements read by the author“A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.” --Kathy ReichsAs any reader or listener of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring—and popular—weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime, Dr. Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes—some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved—are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads listeners on a fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive—or don’t.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

  After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
  Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
  What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
  Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Every day, we use products that we assume are safe. We lather on lotions, clean our homes with fresh-scented sprays, and cook meals in convenient nonstick pans without a second thought. But what if these everyday items contained hidden dangers? What if the very things designed to make our lives easier were quietly compromising our health?  
    
  The truth is, many household products contain chemicals that have been linked to a range of health concerns, from minor irritations to serious, long-term illnesses. Harmful ingredients lurk in everything from personal care products to cleaning supplies, often disguised under vague or misleading labels. Companies prioritize profit over safety, and regulatory agencies struggle to keep up with the thousands of chemicals introduced into the market each year. As a result, consumers are left exposed to substances that can disrupt hormones, weaken immune systems, and even increase the risk of chronic diseases.  
    
  Consider the shampoo you use every morning. It may contain sulfates that strip your hair of natural oils, synthetic fragrances that release harmful VOCs into the air, and preservatives like parabens that have been linked to hormonal imbalances. Or take a look at your kitchen. Nonstick cookware may release toxic fumes when overheated, plastic food containers can leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your meals, and even the tap water you drink might be carrying invisible contaminants.
