Hell's Cartel von Diarmuid Jeffreys

Quick impressions: A history about the rise and fall of IG Farben, a corporate cartel that was instrumental to Hitler and the Third Reich, specially for the death camps. Book's narrative is framed by the trial of the IG Farben executives. Rest of the book is the story of the company from its rise to its fall, or rather it breaking up and its parts allowed to live on and keep doing business (but that is another story). Some interesting parts, some were very dry. Definitely an academic volume.

Full review on my blog later.… (mehr)

Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug von Diarmuid Jeffreys

Fascinating book. Moves faster than most science histories. Read if you're interested in history of medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.

Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug von Diarmuid Jeffreys

An engaging history of the drug, from its discovery to the modern day - it covers a great deal of history through the people involved, both known and unknown, as well as the fates of themselves and their companies. Light on chemical theory, but probably much less dry for that.
