The Fly in the Ointment by Joe Schwarcz EPUB
Dr. Joe Schwarcz breaks down the fascinating chemistry all around us in this intriguing look at everyday science. From pesticides and environmental oestrogens to lipsticks and garlic, the science that surrounds us can be mystifying. Why do some people drill holes in their heads for "enlightenment"? How did a small chemical error nearly convict the unfortunate Patricia Stallings for murdering her son? Where does the expression "take a bromide" come from? Dr. Joe Schwarcz investigates aphrodisiacs, DDT, bottled water, vitamins, barbiturates, plastic wrap, and smoked meat. He puts worries about acrylamide, preservatives, and waxed fruit into perspective and unravels the mysteries of bulletproof vests, weight loss diets, and "mad honey." From the fanciful to the factual, Dr. Joe enlightens us all — no drills attached.
Dr. Joe Schwarcz is director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, dedicated to demystifying science and separating sense from nonsense. He is a popular lecturer, both to students and to the larger public. He hosts The Dr. Joe Show on Montréal radio and is the author of over a dozen bestselling titles. Dr. Joe lives in Montréal, Québec.
