Poisonous species have intrigued and beguiled people throughout history, and this fascinating book takes readers on a world tour of 50 dangerous plants and fungi. Across cultures and throughout history, humans have harnessed the toxic properties of plants and fungi - from creating lethal poisons and powerful medicines, to utilizing them for spiritual and ritualistic purposes.

The Atlas of Deadly Plants is lavishly illustrated and explores the stories and uses of some of the most deadly plants and fungi from across the world, illuminating their socio-cultural significance, as well as their effects on the human body.

Illustrator Alice Smith has created stunning bespoke artwork for each plant filled with symbolism and metaphor to highlight their scientific and historic significance; featured alongside more traditional botanical illustrations and photography. From deadly nightshade to peyote, heartbreak grass to the ordeal bean - each of these poisonous specimens has a curious tale to tell.
