Gory Details: Adventures From the Dark Side of Science

This groovy story from the author of National Geographic's popular Gory Details blog exposes the filthy, bizarre, morbid, and outright ludicrous reality of bodies, earth, and universe via comedy and true science in the tradition of Mary Roach. This collection of scientific images, based on a National Geographic blog, covers the strange, the nasty, and the amusing. In other words, it's ideal for young minds looking to wow their peers with something out of the ordinary.

The book covers everything from bee stings to blood spatter at crime scenes – so it's definitely more appropriate for teenagers than toddlers – and never skimps on the meaty, biological, or anatomical information. There's plenty for parents here, too, with many articles exposing previously unreported aspects of science. This quirky, amusing, and instructive story takes on a fantastic voyage through the amazing world of science, filled to the brim with out-of-this-world information. This engaging book delves into often-overlooked but enticing aspects of biology, anatomy, space exploration, wildlife, and more.
