The cover of the book Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China, by Yan Liu. The fine white lines of the lettering are centered on a black background. Each of the four corners features an image of poisonous medicinal source, also drawn in fine white lines against the black background, representing the different types of sources: a coiled snake in the upper right, a mineral in the lower right, and two kinds of plants in the upper and lower left.
