June FOs - Take Two


Dear Neuro,

I'm so excited to post some more (better-late-than-never) June(ish) FOs that these latest are still wet from their baths!

Love,
Oogy

To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way.
