Evil Scientists - Nonfiction Edition

by lizzyy
//
49 books

A harrowing examination of the times when science abandoned ethics in the name of progress. These books document the exploitation of vulnerable bodies, exposing the systemic racism, sexism, ableism, and unchecked power that have historically hidden behind the white coat. These are the true stories of the "evil scientists" who operated not in gothic castles, but in government and university settings getting paid to make the rich richer.

This is not a taboo romance list…..well, if you don’t count my weird love for all things poisonous or venomous! A list of non fiction books about the critters that make chemical weapons, nasty toxins that are a bit more human in origin, and people who use chemistry for more nefarious intents!!
