Oh Excellent Air Bag: Under the Influence of Nitrous Oxide, 1799 –1920

Oh Excellent Air Bag presents a curated collection of 12 scientific and popular works about nitrous oxide, spanning 1799 to 1920. Voyeuristic readers will enjoy reading the frequently explicit experiences of inhaling nobles. Readers who prefer a coherent history with a focus on characters, causes, and effects may be less satisfied. That reader will savor the historian Mike Jay ’s engaging introduction, but will be disappointed that each work does not have its own commentary.
