Filled to the brim with far-out facts, this wickedly informative narrative from the author of National Geographic's popular Gory Details blog takes us on a fascinating journey through an astonishing new reality. Blending humor and journalism in the tradition of Mary Roach, acclaimed science reporter Erika Engelhaupt investigates the gross, strange, and morbid absurdities of our bodies and our universe. From the research biologist who stung himself with every conceivable insect to the world's most murderous mammals, this entertaining book explores oft-ignored but alluring facets of biology, anatomy, space exploration, nature, and more. Featuring interviews with leading researchers in the field and a large dose of wit, this provocative book reveals the most intriguing real-world applications of science in all their glory.

The narrator is perfect: aside from the voice itself which feels like a warm hug (deep, clean, pleasant), the interpretation really gives life to the stories and occasionally adds its own touch of humor.
In combination, listening to the book feels similar to watching a good documentary.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised that a book called "gory details" would include some uncomfortable things to know, though. I'd say it provided exactly what it promised
Fascinating, but kinda horrifying
