Foreword by internationally bestselling crime author Sophie
Hannah, author of the new Agatha Christie Poirot novels.
Illustrated with fascinating, decorative but deadly imagery
of the plants and substances used for nefarious purposes, the
perpetrators that harnessed their deadly powers, and the
cultures in which they were the weapons of choice.
Poisoning is a dark art as old as human history itself.
The Roman emperors used poison liberally to dispose of
rivals, while Renaissance dinner party guests were quietly
assassinated with adulterated wine. Today, in the search
for the perfect covert weapon, shadowy figures deploy
substances which are almost impossible to trace. They
are only the latest in a long line of experimenters: for the
same poisons used to kill or injure others have been used
throughout history as intoxicants, aphrodisiacs and even
elixirs of life.
As every amateur toxicologist knows, the difference
between a poison and medicine is often simply the dose.
An illustrated account of history’s silent assassin, Poison
documents the gripping tales of the users, abusers and
victims of these mysterious substances, from Cleopatra,
the Borgias and Qin Shi Huang to contemporary secret
service agents and terrorists. Profiles of the most
commonly-used poisons of each historical era reveal
their origins, potency, and murderous powers, and how
the power-hungry, the dangerous and the desperate have
harnessed them to achieve their ends.
Ben Hubbard is a non-fiction author who has written
extensively on history and science, including the recently
published Bloody History of Paris, Flashpoints in 20th Century
History and Plantagenets.
Sophie Hannah is an internationally bestselling writer of

A history of migration from prehistoric man’s first steps out
of the Rift Valley to the present-day exodus from Syria. It
considers the effect migration has had on language and culture,
and on artistic and scientific advancement throughout history.
Annotated maps, graphics and diagrams, contextual
photographs and documents tell this story in a new, engaging
and accessible way.
Migration has existed since the dawn of humanity, yet in
recent years has come to dominate the headlines as never
before. Professor Robin Cohen’s indispensable book takes
on the full sweep of history to offer a magisterial account
of this most primal of human instincts.
If migration is as old as the hills, why is it now so
politically sensitive? Why do migrants leave? Where
do they go, in what numbers and for what reasons? Do
migrants represent a threat to the social and political
order? Are they nonetheless necessary to provide labour,
develop their home countries, increase consumer demand
and generate wealth? Can migration be stopped? All these
questions are probed by one of Britain’s leading migration
scholars.
While recognizing that distinctions between categories
are often fuzzy, Migration covers many types of migrants
including explorers, slaves, pilgrims, mineworkers,
labourers, exiles, refugees, sex workers, students, tourists,
retirees and expatriates. The text is supplemented by a
series of vivid maps, evocative photographs and powerful
graphics. Robin Cohen explores a long span of time and
many regions and themes, giving context and colour to
one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Robin Cohen is professor emeritus of development
studies and former director of the International Migration
Institute at the University of Oxford. He has held academic
positions in Nigeria, the Caribbean, the USA, Canada,
South Africa and the UK, while conducting research in
many other countries. He is one of Britain’s foremost
scholars of international migration and its cultural and
social consequences. His previous books include Frontiers
of identity: the British and the others, Global Diasporas: An
Introduction and Migration and its enemies and he writes

science fiction as “reality ahead of schedule”. Joel
