Just the Tonic is an accessible yet informative history of tonic
water: its connections to the major disease malaria, the cure
discovered in the bitter bark of the cinchona tree and its
constituent alkaloid quinine. It is a history deeply intertwined
with botanical exploration and empire in the Victorian era, and the
role of botanical gardens such as Kew.
