Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of all scientific research on water hemlock, a poisonous plant with deadly effects in humans and livestock. First identified and classified by German botanist Konrad Gesner in 1541, this book has compiled a historical record of water hemlockâs impact over the centuries. Early on, experimentation on the plant was understandably limited to animal testing, with in-depth autopsies such as those conducted by J.J. Wepfer in Europe during the 17th century. In the 19th century, more cases of both human and animal poisoning were documented, particularly in the United States. These incidents prompted experimentation to better understand water hemlockâs effects. This book details all of this research and provides insights into the plant's various effects on the anatomy and behavior of victims. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
